LS Swap Fuel Tank Kit 255 LPH Pump for 1957 Chevy Nomad & Station Wagon
Fitting an LS engine into a classic 1957 Chevy Nomad or Station Wagon demands reliable fuel supply and this kit delivers just that with its 255 LPH pump mounted inside the tank. The direct fit design accommodates Bel Air Nomad and 150/210 series frames without altering chassis rails, preserving ground clearance and easing installation. With the pump placement inside the tank reducing heat transfer from the engine bay, drivers benefit from consistent pressure under every throttle input. Every component aligns with original mounting points for straightforward assembly and reliable operation on both extended highway runs and spirited backroad trips.
Integrated Pump Placement Enhances Performance
By locating the 255 LPH pump inside the fuel tank the kit eliminates the need for external plumbing and reduces pressure loss over long fuel lines. The submerged position keeps the pump cooler during operation and extends service life while supporting engines up to 550 hp. This placement preserves underbody clearance on the 1957 Chevy Nomad frame and simplifies fuel line routing. Drivers will notice consistent pressure under steady cruising and sharp response during sudden throttle bursts.
Precision Fitment to 1957 Chevy Chassis Rails
Each component of this fuel tank kit is engineered for a direct bolt up to the Bel Air Nomad and 150 210 series Station Wagon and Sedan Delivery models from 1957. The tank contours match factory frame rails to preserve ground clearance and eliminate custom brackets. Original filler neck and strap locations are maintained to reduce installation time. Installers benefit from a design that respects the Nomad's undercarriage profile and keeps the assembly factory clean.
Supporting High Output LS Engines
The 255 liter per hour pump is chosen to meet the demands of modified LS engines producing up to 550 hp without risk of fuel starvation. Maintaining ample flow under heavy load prevents lean conditions that can damage injectors and valvetrain components. This capacity also leaves room for future additions like forced induction. By keeping pressure steady during hard acceleration, throttle response remains crisp whether on a highway run or a winding backroad.
Complete Hardware for Hassle Free Assembly
This kit arrives with every necessary part including the sending unit filler neck tank straps vent filter gaskets and mounting hardware for a full tank swap. All pieces align with original mounting points so no fabrication is required. The included instructions walk you through removal of the old tank and installation of the new module in clear step by step detail. Both professional technicians and home builders will appreciate the streamlined process from start to finish.
