High Clearance Moroso Oil Pan for LS Engine Swaps
When lowering an LS into a chassis that sits inches above the road, the Moroso High Clearance Oil Pan delivers the sump lift needed to protect against rocks and debris. This design uses a sturdy steel shell and an integrated pickup tube girdle to maintain consistent oil flow under cornering forces and braking loads. Its block mount design tailored for Chevrolet LS engines requires no trimming and a factory AC filter boss simplifies service intervals. From street cruising to track sessions, this pan keeps lubrication reliable by safeguarding the oil pickup and reservoir.
Elevated Sump Design for Vintage Chassis
The Moroso sump raises the oil reservoir several inches above the frame rails, offering critical protection when navigating uneven roads or debris. This extra height minimizes the risk of impact damage and punctures that can lead to leaks and engine failure. By positioning the lowest point of the lubrication system further from the pavement, the design ensures that street and track excursions remain trouble free. Builders retrofitting an LS into low riding chassis will appreciate the clearance gains without complex frame modifications.
Steel Shell Construction with Pickup Tube Girdle
The sturdy steel shell delivers superior wear resistance and impact strength compared to aluminum pans, guarding against denting and deformation. An integrated pickup tube girdle secures the pickup in place, preventing flex and vibration under heavy cornering and hard braking. This reinforcement keeps the tube inlet perfectly aligned with the reservoir, delivering steady oil supply to critical engine bearings. The result is reliable lubrication even in the most demanding driving scenarios.
Optimized Oil Control for Dynamic Driving Conditions
The deep sump design increases oil capacity to help manage temperature and reduce slosh during aggressive cornering. An integrated AC filter boss accepts a PF46 element, keeping contaminants out of the system under sustained loads. Consistent pressure and effective filtration combine to support both low speed cruising and high speed track sessions. This balanced approach to oil management extends engine life and boosts performance when it matters most.
Precision Fitment on Chevrolet LS Blocks
Mounting directly to Chevrolet LS engine blocks, this pan requires no tray trimming or adapter plates, saving installation time. CNC machined bolt holes and gasket surfaces ensure a leak free seal and perfect alignment with factory mounting points. Builders receive a complete package with the oil pan, pickup tube girdle, PF46 filter boss and installation hardware for a straightforward assembly. Maintenance is simplified thanks to the built in service boss, allowing quick filter changes without pan removal.
