Fuel Tank for 6.6L L8T Engines with AC Power Steering Bracket
When fitting a 6.6L L8T powerplant into a Chevy model years 1949 through 1952, reliable fuel supply under sustained load demands precise fitment and a robust assembly. The LT Series AC/Power Steering Bracket 6.6L L8T secures steering gear and accessories in the correct position, while the fuel tank kit houses a 400 LPH Walbro pump rated for supercharged engines and over 550 hp output. The kit includes a matched sending unit, filler neck, vent filter, tank straps, gaskets and hardware to deliver consistent fueling without external return plumbing, and the tank bolts to stock frame points to preserve original geometry and streamline installation.
Overview of the LT Series AC and Power Steering Bracket
The LT Series bracket is engineered to mount both the air conditioning compressor and the power steering pump on 6.6 liter L8T engines with precision. This component is designed to align seamlessly with MuscleRods mounts, preserving factory style placement and ideal drivetrain angles for smooth operation. By combining multiple accessory drives onto a single, compact bracket assembly, it reduces installation time and ensures consistent belt tension across varied operating conditions. The bracket's one piece design simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate idler supports. Its bolt pattern and pulley path match the LT block exactly, allowing direct replacement in performance builds without additional modifications.
Fuel Delivery Module Integration
Incorporating a high-output 400 LPH Walbro pump, the in tank fuel module is rated for supercharged engines and over 550 hp output. Stable pressure delivery is maintained even under sudden throttle changes or sustained wide open throttle runs, reducing the risk of lean conditions that can harm internal components. The precision sending unit provides exact level readings, enabling accurate monitoring of fuel reserves through the vehicle's instrumentation. A robust locking ring and integrated filter protect the pump from debris, extending service intervals and preserving module life. Designed specifically for 1949 to 1952 Chevy EFI conversions, this module has proven reliability in vintage chassis while its updated bracket design now accepts LT engine front drive accessories with no interference.
Design and Material Integrity
Every bracket is crafted from robust billet aluminum alloy and finished with a corrosion resistant coating to withstand harsh underhood environments. CNC machining ensures dimensional accuracy and consistent fit on every unit, preventing bracket flex that can lead to belt misalignment or accessory noise. Integration with MuscleRods mounts guarantees proper transmission of engine torque to the chassis, maintaining precise belt tracking on the AC compressor and steering pump pulleys. The bracket is engineered for repeatable alignment during rebuild cycles, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent belt geometry. This attention to material strength and precision manufacturing delivers both aesthetic appeal and mechanical reliability in restoration projects and high output street machines.
