1957 Chevy Bel Air Nomad/150/210/Station Wagon/Sedan Delivery Fuel Tank Kit
When fitting an LS engine into a classic 1957 Chevy Nomad or Station Wagon, ensuring steady fuel supply becomes crucial and this fuel tank kit provides the required flow with its integrated 255 LPH pump. Its direct fit design matches the contours of the Nomad frame rails, preserving ground clearance and using original mount points for a straightforward swap. By housing the pump inside the tank, heat transfer from the engine bay is reduced and consistent pressure is maintained even under sudden throttle bursts. Installers will appreciate that no chassis alterations are required, making this kit a reliable choice for road tests and spirited backroad runs.
Submerged Pump Placement Enhances Cooling and Flow
Placing the Walbro 255 LPH pump fully inside the fuel tank eliminates long runs of external plumbing that can introduce turbulence and pressure loss. By operating in a cooler environment beneath the fuel level the pump experiences less thermal stress and delivers consistent output even when the engine is pushed hard. This arrangement also preserves underbody clearance on the 1957 Chevy Nomad chassis. Owners benefit from steady pressure at steady cruise and rapid response at wide open throttle.
Contour Matched Design Preserves Clearance and Eases Installation
The fuel tank shell is shaped to follow the exact contour of Bel Air Nomad and 150/210 series rails, so no cuts or adapters are required. Original filler neck mounting points and strap bosses are retained to align with stock components. Installers can simply swap tanks without fabricating custom brackets or altering frame rails. This precise fit helps maintain factory ground clearance and reduces time spent on trial fitting and adjustments.
High Volume Output Supports Up to 550 HP Builds
The 255 liter per hour capacity meets the fuel demands of LS engine upgrades producing up to 550 horsepower without risking lean conditions. Maintaining ample supply under high load prevents injector dropout and helps protect valvetrain parts from damage due to fuel starvation. This reserve margin also accommodates future forced induction or nitrous applications. Consistent flow ensures crisp throttle response both on highway stretches and winding backroad runs.
Complete Module Components Ensure Leak Free Operation
This kit includes a drop-in tank, calibrated sending unit, precision filler neck, vent filter, gaskets and all mounting straps and hardware necessary for a full swap. Each item is engineered to mate with original openings and seal points, which reduces the risk of fuel leaks and simplifies alignment. By integrating the tank and pump in one assembly the service life of internal parts is improved and maintenance is more straightforward.
