We choose to use
the 4th Gen F-Body LS1 fuel pump for this conversion. It's quiet,
durable and a proven Delphi pump. We prefer in-tank over external pumps.
It also has a built-in fuel regulator , so there's no need for a return
line. The assembly has a built in bucket around the pump to contain fuel
during fuel shushing. "Auto crossing" The assembly is easily available.
Warning: Treat gas tank before
cutting or welding.
Before cutting or welding a fuel tank, fill
it with water to drive out any lingering residue or vapor. Many
explosions have resulted from using a torch on a tank that was thought
to be empty.
#1. The Adapter requires a 3.875" hole cut out of the tank. #2.
Position the fuel pump & mark the location of the lower bracket.
#3. Weld the lower bracket
to the tank. Only 4 good tacks are needed to do the job. #4. Add the GM Gasket
pump seal.( We used the OE pump rubber gasket to seal the pump to the
gas tank) #5. Position the top clamping plate over the 4- 1/4" 28 studs to clamp the top bracket to sandwiched the 4th
Gen LS1 Pump. #6 Connect the AN fuel adapter (available through
Vetteworks). #7 Final tank assembly.
NOTE: The output feed of the
pump must be connected to the return line For the regulation to work.
The line is then teed off to feed the plenum. ( see picture #6)
The F-Body fuel pump assembly has about 1" height
adjustability. Set up works very well.
New pumps and harnesses available soon.
