1955-1956 Chevy Nomad, 150, 210, Station Wagon & Sedan Delivery Fuel Tank Kit with 450 LPH Pump
When adapting an LS engine into a 1955 to 1956 Chevy Nomad or Station Wagon, reliable fuel flow is non negotiable and the 1955 to 1956 Nomad & Station Wagon Fuel Tank Kit w/450 LPH Fuel Pump delivers a purpose built solution. The kit includes a corrosion resistant steel tank that fits exactly within factory frame rails while housing a 450 LPH fuel pump inside the reservoir to guard against vapor lock and maintain steady pressure under load. Installers will find that factory mounting points guide every step so no trimming or custom brackets are required and underbody lines run cleanly out of sight.
In Tank Fuel Pump Integration for Reliable Delivery
Positioning the 450 LPH Walbro pump inside the reservoir shortens the path to the engine and eliminates long suction runs that often drop pressure at high demand. By mounting the pump within the tank, the design eliminates bubble formation that can lead to cavitation under high rpm. With the pump submerged in fuel, constant cooling reduces heat soak and sharply lowers vapor lock risk in hot engine bays. This arrangement delivers crisp throttle response and consistent output under heavy load, supporting LS engine conversions up to 750 hp without hesitation during spirited driving. Engine builders will also appreciate reduced wear on pump components, translating into longer service intervals and reliable operation on both street and track.
Direct Fit Steel Tank Preserves Underbody Clearance
The replacement tank is precision formed to mate with factory frame rails on the Nomad and Station Wagon chassis, so it installs without trimming or custom brackets. Constructed from corrosion resistant steel, the tank resists rust and road debris damage for long term durability. This direct fit design maintains stock ride height and protects suspension and exhaust components from contact. Underbody fuel lines run cleanly out of sight and stay well clear of obstacles, preserving the vehicle s original silhouette and ground clearance. Installers can follow factory mounting points to complete the swap in minimal time.
Internal Baffling and Large Filter Guard Against Fuel Slosh
Multiple internal baffles divide the tank into separate chambers that prevent fuel from shifting away from the pickup during cornering or pitching, ensuring uninterrupted supply no matter the driving style. Strategic placement of these partitions optimizes fuel pickup even under rapid directional changes, so the engine never sees a lean condition. A generously sized filter screens debris before it reaches the pump, protecting injectors and prolonging component life. The filter element is serviceable, allowing routine maintenance without tank removal. Together, these features deliver stable pressure during both cruising and hard acceleration.
Complete Kit Layout Streamlines Installation Process
This all inclusive module arrives with the fuel tank, sending unit, filler neck, straps, vent filter, gaskets and all necessary mounting hardware to achieve a seamless swap. Clear, step by step instructions guide each phase using basic hand tools, eliminating fabrication and part sourcing delays. The included vent filter balances internal pressure and prevents airborne contaminants from entering the system, while precision cut gaskets ensure a leak free seal. With every component provided, professional installers and weekend enthusiasts alike can complete the conversion in a single session and get back on the road with confidence.
