1957 Chevy Bel Air Nomad/150-210 Station Wagon/Sedan Delivery Fuel Tank Kit w/450 LPH Pump
Planning an LS engine conversion in a 1957 Chevy Bel Air Nomad or 150 and 210 series Station Wagon demands a dependable fuel supply and the 1957 Nomad & Station Wagon Fuel Tank Kit w/450 LPH Fuel Pump provides stable flow for engines up to 750 horsepower. By locating the 450 LPH Fuel Pump inside the tank this design removes external lines and retains factory underbody clearance on the original chassis rails. The direct fit layout secures to stock mounting points on Nomad, Station Wagon and Sedan Delivery frames without custom brackets or trimming. Installation is further streamlined with a precision molded filler neck, corrosion resistant straps and all necessary hardware that preserves ride height and maintains leak free operation under sustained driving conditions.
Managing Heat Soak with Pump Placement Inside the Tank
Locating the 450 LPH Walbro fuel pump directly inside the tank tackles heat soak by shielding the unit from engine bay temperatures. Submerged operation helps keep fuel temperatures lower, preserving pump efficiency over long drives or spirited runs. This arrangement also eliminates runs of external fuel line, which in turn reduces exposure to ambient heat under the chassis rails. The result is a system that maintains more consistent pressure and reduces the risk of vapor lock or fuel boiling in stop-and-go traffic. Owners benefit from a pump life that is extended by stable operating conditions and cooler fuel delivered to injectors.
Consistent 450 LPH Flow to Support Up to 750 Horsepower
The 450 LPH capacity is precisely calibrated to meet the demands of LS engine conversions rated up to 750 HP. By delivering ample volume under full throttle, the system prevents lean conditions that can lead to detonation or injector strain. During highway cruising, it holds pressure steady to ensure smooth, efficient operation and crisp throttle response the moment the accelerator is pressed. Under hard acceleration, the pump sustains flow without lag, guarding against fuel starvation in sharp corners or during rapid load changes. This capacity gives builders confidence that the fuel system will keep pace with both steady and peak power demands.
Chassis Rail Mounting for a Clean Installation
This fuel tank kit bolts directly to the original 1957 Chevy Bel Air Nomad, 150 and 210 series Station Wagon, and Sedan Delivery chassis rails without custom brackets or trimming. A precision-molded filler neck aligns perfectly with the factory opening to maintain the correct angle and flow characteristics. Corrosion-resistant straps secure the tank in place and preserve the stock underbody clearance that defines the car's classic stance. By matching every mounting point to the factory layout, installers save time and avoid modifications that could compromise ride height or ground clearance. The bolt-in fitment delivers a professional look that integrates modern EFI technology while respecting the period-correct frame geometry.
All Inclusive Kit Design for Simplified Setup
Every component required for a seamless swap is packaged together to reduce parts sourcing and installation errors. The kit includes the fuel tank, sending unit calibrated for EFI accuracy, precision filler neck, corrosion-proof straps, vent filter, gaskets, and all mounting hardware. Detailed instructions guide technicians through tank removal, pump module installation, and reassembly using common hand tools. By consolidating all necessary items, the kit streamlines the process from teardown to first fire-up, saving builders valuable time and effort. This comprehensive approach ensures a straightforward installation that delivers both reliability and consistent fuel delivery for any 1957 Chevy station wagon or sedan delivery project.
Engineered for reliable operation and a precise fit in your 1957 Chevy Bel Air Nomad, this tank kit delivers consistent fuel flow and effortless installation.
