Moroso GTO Oil Pan for LS Engine Installations
When swapping an LS into a classic Chevy frame, tight engine bay clearances and pickup alignment challenges call for an oil pan that tucks under crossmembers while delivering reliable oil feed, and the Moroso GTO Oil Pan does just that. A cast aluminum body integrates machined mounting flanges to bolt into GM engine mounts without extra brackets, and a carefully sculpted sump plus internal baffles direct oil toward the pump under cornering forces. The built in pickup tube girdle locks the pickup in place for uninterrupted flow, and the rigid alloy pan resists dents and corrosion to maintain a leak free seal during spirited street runs or track use.
Precision Baffle Design for Steady Oil Flow
The Moroso GTO Oil Pan integrates a network of internal baffles and guide plates to channel oil directly toward the pickup during dynamic maneuvers. During cornering or rapid acceleration, this arrangement holds fluid in the sump area to prevent pressure drops at the pump inlet. By controlling internal flow paths the design also promotes heat transfer, helping the oil shed excess thermal energy. This precise management of oil movement reduces the risk of starvation and maintains stable lubrication in LS swap applications.
Integrated Pickup Tube Girdle Ensuring Reliable Feed
A built in girdle secures the pickup tube in an exact position relative to the pan walls without custom brackets. This sturdy support holds the inlet steady even when the vehicle leans under cornering loads or braking forces. The bolt in installation removes guesswork and cuts assembly time for both skilled mechanics and first time installers. Ensuring consistent oil supply, the girdle safeguards bearings and pump gears against transient starvation.
Robust Cast Aluminum Structure with Enhanced Heat Dissipation
Crafted from high grade aluminum alloy, the pan resists dents and corrosion that steel units often endure. The rigid casting withstands torque and vibration without warping, preserving a leak tight seal under heavy use. Aluminum's superior conductivity draws heat from the oil faster, promoting cooler fluid temperatures in extreme driving. This balance of strength and thermal management prolongs oil life and protects critical engine components in spirited street runs or track work.
Slim Front Profile Tailored to Classic Chevy Frames
The front nose of the Moroso GTO pan is refined to slip under the factory crossmember in classic Chevy frames. This shallow front profile eliminates chassis modifications by avoiding interference with exhaust and frame rails. Behind the crossmember, a deep sump holds ample volume to support sustained high rpm operation without starvation. The result is a straightforward LS conversion that retains ground clearance and factory frame integrity.
