LT Engine Series Conversion Oil Pan for Engine Swaps
Starting an LT swap in a vintage chassis often throws clearance and oil pickup issues that stock pans cannot solve. The LT Engine Series Conversion Oil Pan offers a precise fit for popular LT conversion kits while maintaining a five quart reservoir to keep the pickup submerged under hard acceleration. Cast from lightweight aluminum the pan sheds mass and helps keep oil temperatures stable. It integrates provisions for AC Delco PF48 filters and GM dipstick tubes so the installation requires no adapters.
Cast Aluminum Construction for Reduced Mass and Durability
The LT Engine Series Conversion Oil Pan is cast from premium aluminum, cutting significant weight compared to stock steel pans. This mass reduction lightens the rotating assembly load, which in turn improves throttle response and fuel economy. Aluminum's natural resistance to corrosion helps preserve sealing surfaces against block warpage and gasket failure over time. Its inherent strength also withstands road impacts and chassis flex, maintaining a consistent oil seal through years of spirited use.
Integrated Thermal Management for Stable Oil Temperature
Aluminum's high thermal conductivity is put to work in this pan's design, rapidly transferring heat away from hot engine oil. By promoting efficient heat dissipation, the pan helps maintain optimal viscosity under hard running conditions, reducing the risk of oil breakdown. Stable oil temperature supports consistent hydrodynamic film between moving parts, minimizing wear on bearings, cam lobes, and crank journals. The result is a more reliable oil supply and longer engine service intervals.
Five Quart Capacity and Sump Design for Consistent Lubrication
With a five quart volume, the pan ensures a steady oil reserve even during hard cornering or heavy acceleration. Its deep sump geometry positions the pickup inlet well below the oil surface, preventing air ingestion and oil starvation under lateral forces. This constant reservoir maintains pressure in the oil galleries, preserving lubrication film integrity when G loads spike. The capacity strikes a balance between low ground clearance and sufficient fluid volume for daily driving and performance use.
Seamless Filter and Dipstick Integration for Simplified Installation
This pan includes an OEM-style boss for AC Delco PF48 filters and built-in provisions for GM dipstick tubes, eliminating the need for adapter hardware. Builders can reuse factory filter elements and dipstick assemblies, which reduces parts sourcing and streamlines the swap process. Precise boss placement and matching thread patterns guarantee leak-free sealing at both the filter and dipstick locations. The result is a clean, factory-grade installation that saves time and enhances overall reliability.
