do not buy an ebay walbro. too many people have been complaining about getting cheap chinese knockoffs that were advertised as real to take that chance. i dont really understand why it says the pump is SIMILAR to a gss340 because it either is or is not the high pressure walbro. appearance wise it looks like it will at least fit an LT1 fuel system.

What year LS1 do you have? The 98's have a metal tank and use an LT1 style fuel bucket/pickup. The 99+ have a plastic tank and use a venturi style fuel bucket. You can't use a generic fuel pump on a 99+ plastic tank car. It has to have the small brass nipple.


If you run a generic pump in a plastic tank you'll have to drill holes in the bucket and might have low fuel starvation issues.
