Conversion Oil Pan with Extended Sump for LT Engine
When adapting an LT powerplant into a front steer chassis, maintaining a stable oil supply is critical under lateral loads. The LT engine series Conversion Oil Pan (Extended Sump) meets this requirement with a fabricated aluminum body housing a five quart reservoir at its deepest point to keep the pickup tube submerged during cornering. It features a billet oil filter adapter for AC Delco PF48 cartridges, integrated pickup tube and O-ring seal. Direct support for GM dipstick 12643278 and tube 12652951 simplifies level checks. With its extended sump geometry, it safeguards pump pressure and bearing film integrity in demanding swaps.
Product Overview
The LT engine series Conversion Oil Pan (Extended Sump) by BRP Hot Rods is built with a single focus on robust function for front steer installations. Its fabricated aluminum construction resists corrosion and adapts to engine block contours while maintaining structural integrity under thermal and mechanical stress. The extended well reaches deeper into the oil reservoir, improving sump capacity to 5-quart for stable oil control under lateral loads. This design favors sustained oil pickup during hard cornering, ensuring the lubrication circuit remains primed and the rotating assembly is protected throughout demanding launches and dynamic driving conditions.
Mounting Integration
This oil pan integrates directly with MuscleRods mount kits engineered for LT engine conversions. The pan's flange pattern matches GM block dimensions while the extended sump clears steering arms and crossmembers. Compatibility with GM dipstick part number 12643278 and tube number 12652951 ensures accurate oil level readings without modification. Precise locating surfaces align the pan to the block face for correct crankshaft alignment and optimized drivetrain angles. Engineers benefit from the partnership between BRP Hot Rods and MuscleRods, which streamlines installation and eliminates guesswork when converting chassis to accommodate the LT series powerplant.
Filtration and Maintenance Design
The integrated billet oil filter adapter accepts the widely available AC Delco #PF48 oil filter to provide superior filtration efficiency and easier service intervals. The adapter's precision tolerances reduce bypass risk by maintaining consistent seal compression on replacement filters. Having a 5-quart capacity also supports cooler oil temperatures and slower thermal degradation, extending intervals between full fluid changes. Routine service is simplified thanks to ample clearance under the pan rails and an accessible drain boss, which allows technicians to evacuate used fluid without lowering the subframe. Overall, this pan brings together capacity, filter compatibility, and serviceability in one complete package for LT engine swaps.
Trust BRP Hot Rods for consistent oil control and fitment when converting your chassis for an LT powerplant.
