Moroso GTO Oil Pan for LS Engine Swaps
When you tuck an LS powerplant into a classic Chevy chassis, space constraints and oil pickup issues often become the first obstacles you face. The Moroso GTO Oil Pan solves both challenges by combining a low front profile with a deep rear sump that fits within confined engine bays on Chevy and GM platforms. It features an internal baffle layout and a rigid pickup tube girdle that lock oil into place under cornering loads and rapid acceleration. By using durable cast aluminum walls and precise mounting flanges, this oil pan ensures consistent lubrication and thermal control throughout spirited street or track use.
Advanced Sump and Baffle Design for Stable Oil Delivery
The Moroso GTO Oil Pan features a carefully shaped sump and internal baffle network that maintains a consistent oil column under cornering and rapid acceleration. By directing fluid toward the pickup even when the chassis tilts or shifts, this layout minimizes the risk of momentary oil starvation that can damage bearings. The internal passages also route oil through cooler areas of the pan before it returns to the pump, helping to regulate temperature and preserve oil integrity during spirited driving or extended track use.
Rigid Pickup Tube Girdle Simplifies and Secures Installation
An integrated tube girdle clamps the pickup tube in a fixed position, eliminating the guesswork of custom brackets or welding. This factory-engineered brace ensures perfect alignment under heavy acceleration and hard braking, so the oil pump always draws from a full reservoir. Installation becomes a matter of bolting the pan into place, which benefits both seasoned technicians and first-time swap builders looking for a reliable drop-in solution.
Cast Aluminum Construction Balances Strength and Cooling
Built from premium cast aluminum alloy, this pan resists deformation from road debris and corrosion far better than steel alternatives. The rigid walls maintain seal integrity to prevent leaks under high stress, while aluminum's natural thermal conductivity helps draw heat away from the oil. This passive cooling effect extends fluid life and contributes to more consistent operating temperatures during both street and track sessions.
Shallow Front Section Preserves Engine Bay Clearance
The low-profile front section was engineered to fit within tight frame rails on Chevy and GM platforms without sacrificing rear sump capacity. By tucking the shallow nose under factory crossmembers, the pan delivers ample oil reserve for sustained operation without requiring chassis modification. This thoughtful packaging maintains ground clearance and ensures broad compatibility across popular LS conversion builds.
