LS Fuel Tank Kit for 1978-1981 Chevy Camaro and 1979-1981 Pontiac Firebird
When swapping an LS engine into a 1978–1981 Chevrolet Camaro or a 1979–1981 Pontiac Firebird, maintaining precise fuel delivery is essential for sustained performance and reliability. The 1978–1981 Camaro / 1979–1981 Firebird EFI Fuel Tank Kit 255 LPH Pump unites a 255 LPH in tank fuel pump module, engineered for outputs up to 550 horsepower, with a precision formed steel reservoir contoured to F Body frame rails. Complete with filler neck, vent filter, fuel level sending unit, tank straps, gaskets and mounting hardware, this kit aligns with original mounting points to preserve ground clearance and supports modern EFI operation.
Precise Fit and Design
This EFI fuel tank kit is engineered exclusively for 1978 through 1981 Camaro and 1979 through 1981 Firebird F Body platforms. Every inlet, outlet and mounting flange is located to match factory attachment points, eliminating the need for chassis modifications. By aligning with MuscleRods mounts, this solution ensures the LS engine maintains correct placement and ideal drivetrain angles. Precision in design means the tank occupies the same footprint as the original unit, preserving ground clearance and suspension geometry without compromise.
Superior Fuel Delivery
At the heart of the system, a 255 LPH Walbro pump supports engine outputs up to 550 horsepower, providing high-performance flow under every driving condition. The pump delivers consistent pressure for steady fuel rail supply, which translates to improved throttle response and sustained power during acceleration runs. Its compatibility with electronic fuel injection optimizes pulse width modulation, boosting fuel economy and engine efficiency across the entire power band.
Precision Crafted Components
All components are manufactured to exacting tolerances, using robust materials that resist corrosion and resist degradation from ethanol blends. The sending unit and pickup assembly are balanced for smooth operation and accurate fuel level readings. Weld joints are reinforced to withstand thermal cycles and road impact, while the tank shell integrates a multilayer construction for strength without undue weight. This meticulous fabrication process guarantees leak-free performance and long service life.
Easy Installation Process
Installation follows a simple procedure using existing strap locations and supply line routes. Fuel hoses and electrical connectors mate directly to OEM-style fittings, minimizing plumbing changes. Integration with MuscleRods brackets ensures the LS swap retains optimal alignment, preventing torque steer and maintaining proper driveline angles. No additional crossmembers or spacer kits are required. Clear instructions guide technicians through each step, delivering a turnkey upgrade path for F Body EFI conversions.
