LT Engine Extended Sump Conversion Oil Pan
Installing an LT engine into a front steer chassis demands an oil pan that keeps fluid at the pump inlet when lateral forces peak and the LT engine series Conversion Oil Pan (Extended Sump) steps up to that task. Its extended sump design holds five quarts of oil and places the pickup at the deepest point to avoid pressure loss when cornering hard. The billet adapter for AC Delco PF48 filters and direct fit for GM dipstick 12643278 plus tube preserve factory service routines without extra parts. Crafted from aircraft grade aluminum this pan sheds weight at the front of the chassis and helps conduct heat away from the fluid to maintain stable oil temperature.
Deep Reservoir Engineering for Lateral Stability
The deep reservoir of this conversion pan holds five quart of oil in a deep sump well designed for front steer chassis. Its shape channels fluid toward the pickup to guard against oil starvation when cornering or under heavy side loads. By keeping the pump inlet submerged, pressure remains stable at the crank bearings even during aggressive driving. An extra volume buffer also smooths out momentary drops in level, preserving continuous lubrication under stress.
Precise Pickup Tube Integration for Reliable Flow
Locating the pickup tube at the lowest point of the sump ensures continuous oil flow to the pump under all vehicle attitudes. The tube is welded and sealed to precise tolerances to prevent any leakage or deformation caused by engine vibration and temperature cycles. This integration eliminates air ingestion and cavitation risk, safeguarding bearing surfaces by delivering uninterrupted lubrication during hard acceleration, deceleration or steady turns. The result is improved engine protection in demanding swaps.
Billet Filter Adapter Providing OEM Service Simplicity
The integrated billet adapter for AC Delco PF48 filters offers an exact machined fit that outperforms stamped counterparts. Crafted from solid aluminum, this adapter provides rigid alignment for the filter element and uses a durable O ring for a leak free joint. Technicians benefit from easy installation using factory parts while drivers enjoy consistent oil cleanliness and a service routine that follows original equipment intervals. It streamlines maintenance without compromise.
Lightweight Aluminum Body for Thermal Control
Constructed from aircraft grade aluminum alloy, the conversion pan sheds weight at the front of the chassis to enhance handling response. Aluminum's high thermal conductivity draws heat away from circulating oil, helping maintain stable fluid temperature under sustained load. The smooth interior finish resists corrosion and prevents contaminant buildup, reducing wear on the pump and bearings. Together these material properties extend service life and support reliable performance in every driving condition.
This conversion pan delivers dependable oil flow and consistent pressure to support your LT swap with confidence.
