Extended Sump Oil Pan for LT Engine Conversion
Converting an LT powerplant into a front steer chassis often leads to oil starvation under hard turns, a problem the LT engine series Conversion Oil Pan (Extended Sump) directly addresses. By deepening the sump to a five quart capacity and locating the pickup at the lowest point, the pan sustains stable pressure through lateral forces and sudden accelerations. Engineered from corrosion resistant aluminum, it also integrates the AC Delco PF48 filter and the GM dipstick 12643278 with its original tube for a straightforward install.
High Grade Aluminum Construction Balancing Strength and Weight
The oil pan is crafted from premium aluminum to deliver robust performance without imposing excess mass on the chassis. Aluminum resists corrosion and helps dissipate heat from the oil, promoting consistent temperature under stress. Engineers vary panel thickness at critical points to absorb impacts from road debris while maintaining structural integrity. This design ensures the pan endures repeated load cycles while preserving the agile response of the LT powerplant conversion.
Deep Five Quart Sump Keeping Oil Supply Stable in Front Steer Chassis
By deepening the sump to a five quart capacity, the pan maintains oil pickup even during sharp turns and rapid acceleration. Locating the pickup at the reservoir's lowest point sustains steady pressure under strong lateral forces. This configuration prevents momentary oil starvation that can damage crankshaft and rod bearings in demanding cornering. The extended sump profile thus secures continuous lubrication for front steer setups.
Precision Machined Billet Adapter for Leak Free Filtration Interface
A billet adapter is CNC machined to exact tolerances for a secure connection with the AC Delco PF48 filter. Tight tolerances eliminate seal failure at high rpm and prevent oil seepage under pressure. The included O ring and integrated pickup tube work together to block air intrusion and maintain uniform oil flow. This precise component supports cleaner oil delivery and extends service intervals of vital engine parts.
Direct GM Dipstick Fit Enhancing Maintenance Simplicity
This pan accepts the GM dipstick 12643278 and tube 12652951 without any modification, preserving original level check procedures. Accurate readings help avoid underfill or overfill conditions that can harm engine performance. Reusing the factory dipstick assembly eliminates the need for special probes or adapters, streamlining routine service. The plug and play fitment reduces installation time and ensures reliable oil level monitoring.
Engineered for precise fit and reliable lubrication under demanding cornering.
