LS Oil Pan for F-Body Engine Swap
If you plan to install an LS engine into a Camaro or Firebird from 1998 to 2002 this F-Body Oil Pan solves oil starvation issues by securing a stable supply under lateral loads. With CNC machined flange surfaces that match GM block bolt patterns the pan aligns perfectly to the block for a leak free seal using only the supplied hardware. The integrated windage tray and rigid pickup tube girdle channel oil back into the sump to maintain consistent pressure even in aggressive cornering or sustained high rpm conditions.
OEM Specific Flange Precision for Seamless F Body Integration
The F Body Oil Pan features flange surfaces machined on multi axis CNC equipment to mirror GM block bolt patterns with tolerances held within thousandths of an inch. This exacting approach removes guesswork in alignment, ensuring the pan seats uniformly against the LS engine block and forms a leak free joint without gasket distortion. Because the mounting holes align precisely with factory studs, installers preserve thread engagement and eliminate the need for heat and time consuming fitment adjustments. The result is a repeatable installation process that locks in proper sealing and maintains mechanical integrity over repeated service intervals.
Optimized Oil Control through Pickup Tube Girdle and Windage Tray
To combat oil starvation in aggressive cornering, the design integrates a rigid pickup tube girdle that secures the pump inlet against side loads and keeps it fully submerged in the sump. Mounted above the crankshaft, the windage tray captures oil mist thrown off by fast-spinning counterweights, collecting and channeling it back into the reservoir. This dual arrangement minimizes aeration and preserves a consistent fluid column for uninterrupted pump flow at elevated rpm. By safeguarding the hydraulic film on main and rod bearings, the system helps protect engine internals from wear during spirited driving.
Complete Installation Hardware for Effortless Bolt On Swap
Rather than sourcing parts from multiple suppliers, this oil pan ships with a precision-cut gasket plus all fasteners needed for a direct bolt on LS swap into 1998–2002 Camaro and Firebird chassis. High grade bolts and washers compress the flange evenly, preventing uneven clamping forces and gasket blowout. Every component is sized to mate with stock engine mounts and the factory crossmember, removing clearance conflicts and eliminating the need for custom brackets. This all-in-one solution saves valuable shop time and lets builders focus on tuning and drivetrain setup instead of fabrication work.
Rugged Sump Casting for Demanding Street and Track Conditions
The deep sump casting is engineered with reinforced floor ribs and integrated baffles to resist deformation under hard launches, sudden stops, and lateral forces. Its robust geometry maintains oil volume at the pickup face, ensuring the pump never runs dry even during extended track sessions or spirited backroad runs. The thick-section walls provide excellent heat-soak resistance and minimize flexing, which helps preserve sealing surfaces and gasket life. Whether navigating canyons or powering through quarter miles, this design delivers consistent oil capacity and dependable protection for your LS build.
