This is the same kit as PN-LS1003 but includes a weld-in mounting plate with a laser machined hole sized for the 4th Gen LS1 F-Body fuel pump. It's always easier to make a square hole over a round hole. We TIG weld the mounting ring to the plate. All you need to do is cut a 5"x5" square hole and TIG or MIG the plate over the existing fuel tank. It is possible to screw the plat to the tank, if you use a good 2 part epoxy that resists fuel. Vetteworks F-body LS1 fuel pump adapter kit allows the installation of 2000-02 F-Body fuel pump into early C3 Corvettes (1968-1982) or hot rod steel fuel tanks to feed a LT1/4 , LS1,2,3,6,7,9 and LQ3 or LQ7 Chevrolet engine. We chose the F-Body pump because it's quiet, durable and a proven Delphi pump. In tank fuel pumps are safer than external pumps. This pump 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 which can cause engine to run lean. The assembly is easily available. The kit comes with a template, lower mounting bracket and an upper clamping bracket to mount the fuel pump into position. Pump gasket is available. The adapter plate at laser machined from stainless steel.
This kit also fits 2nd Gen Camaro/ Firebirds see pictures. |
