Cast Aluminum LT Oil Pan Kit for 1978-1988 Chevy Monte Carlo/Malibu/Pontiac Grand Prix
When installing an LT engine in a 1978-1988 Chevy Monte Carlo, Malibu or Grand Prix you need reliable oil control during spirited driving and tight cornering. The Cast Aluminum LT Oil Pan Kit addresses that by offering a six quart sump with built in baffles to keep oil circulating under heavy load. Its cast aluminum body reduces weight while standing up to repeated heat cycles, and it integrates a dedicated pickup and filter adapter for simple installation. Designed for front steer conversions this kit ensures consistent oil delivery even when the chassis is pushed to its limits.
Advanced Cast Aluminum Design for Durability and Weight Savings
Using premium cast aluminum, this oil pan combines strength with a lower mass to improve overall engine performance. The alloy stands up to repeated heat cycles without warping or cracking, ensuring a consistent seal with the block. Lightweight construction also reduces unsprung weight, aiding in responsive handling. Engineers chose this material to balance robustness with minimal added mass, crucial for classic cars updated with modern LT engines.
Extended Sump and Baffle System for Consistent Oil Delivery
The deep six quart sump paired with strategic internal baffles prevents oil from migrating away from the pickup during rapid direction changes. Under aggressive cornering or heavy acceleration, the baffles maintain a pool of oil around the pickup tube to avoid starvation. This design keeps oil pressure stable, which protects bearings and critical moving parts. Optimized oil circulation also aids in heat removal to keep temperatures in check.
Integrated Pickup and Filter Adapter Streamlining Oil Flow
Integrated pickup and filter adapter streamline oil routing and simplify installation. The pickup tube forms a tight seal at the pump inlet, ensuring uninterrupted flow during high load operation. Integration of the filter adapter eliminates the need for additional fittings, reducing leak points and maintenance time. This unified approach enhances filtration performance and maintains clean oil supply throughout the engine.
Complete Kit Components Ensure Simple Installation
This kit includes all essential parts for a hassle free fitment on 1978-1988 Monte Carlo, Malibu, and Grand Prix frames. An anti slosh baffle, windage tray, oil pickup, sealing gaskets, O rings, and mounting hardware come pre matched to the pan. With every component supplied, installers can avoid sourcing separate parts and reduce downtime. The result is a precise fit and reliable operation right out of the box.
