Moroso GTO Oil Pan for LS Engine Swaps
Swapping a modern LS into a classic frame demands precise oil management and clearance optimization, and the Moroso GTO Oil Pan rises to that challenge with a low profile that slips beneath tight crossmembers. Featuring machined flanges that bolt directly to GM mounts without adapters, this pan ensures a reliable feed even under cornering forces. Its cast aluminum construction resists dents and sheds heat efficiently through internal baffles that keep oil flowing toward the pump. With a built in pickup tube girdle for unwavering placement, it maintains steady lubrication throughout spirited driving sessions.
Advanced Internal Baffle System for Stable Lubrication
The Moroso GTO Oil Pan employs a network of internal guide plates and baffles that direct oil toward the pump inlet under every driving scenario. During cornering or rapid acceleration these elements hold fluid in the sump area to prevent pressure drops and maintain a steady feed to bearings. By channeling flow along designated paths the pan also encourages heat transfer from the oil to the casting walls, helping to keep temperatures in check. This precise control of internal dynamics reduces the risk of starvation and supports consistent lubrication in LS swap installations.
Durable Cast Aluminum Body with Efficient Heat Shedding
Crafted from a robust aluminum alloy, the pan resists dents and corrosion that can compromise steel units over time. The thick walls and reinforced mounting rail withstand vibration and torque without warping, preserving a reliable seal even in performance driving. Aluminum's high thermal conductivity pulls heat away from the oil more quickly, promoting cooler fluid and extending service intervals. This combination of strength and heat management safeguards critical engine components in spirited street runs and track sessions.
Integrated Flanges and Pickup Tube Girdle for Simplified Fitment
Machined mounting flanges offer a direct bolt interface to GM engine mounts, eliminating the need for adapter brackets and streamlining the installation process. The built in pickup tube girdle secures the inlet in an exact position relative to the sump walls, removing guesswork and ensuring proper alignment. This rigid support helps keep oil flowing even when the vehicle leans under braking or lateral loads. Together these features cut assembly time and provide confidence in a leak free, correctly fed system for both seasoned technicians and first time installers.
Low Profile Sump Designed for Tight Classic Chevy Frames
The front nose of the oil pan is sculpted to slip beneath factory cross members commonly found in classic Chevy and GM chassis. This shallow sump profile avoids interference with exhaust and frame rails so ground clearance remains intact. Behind the cross member a deeper reservoir holds sufficient volume to support high rpm operation without starve out. The result is a seamless LS conversion that preserves factory underbody geometry and maximizes usable space in the engine bay.
Engineered for precise fit and lasting performance in your LS swap project, the Moroso GTO Oil Pan delivers dependable oil management under spirited driving.
