LH8 Oil Pan for LS Engine Swap Installations
For anyone installing an LS mill into a tight 1955 to 2005 GM frame the LH8 Oil Pan solves sump clearance and oil starvation issues. Its low profile sump keeps the inlet submerged under lateral force while clearing steering linkage and crossmembers. Precision machined flanges match PF48 filter interfaces directly to Gen III and IV blocks without modification. Installers gain consistent oil pressure under aggressive cornering and heavy braking thanks to optimized sump geometry and corrosion resistant aluminum construction.
Corrosion Resistant Aluminum Alloy for Lightweight Strength and Heat Dissipation
Constructed from an aluminum alloy, the LH8 oil pan offers rigidity critical for high output LS installations. The material resists corrosion from road salts and moisture, maintaining structural integrity over many years of service. Its thermal conductivity draws heat away from the oil, helping oil remain within optimal temperature range during sustained high rpm or heavy braking events. Consistent wall thickness prevents distortion when the engine reaches operating temperature, maintaining a true seal against the block. Together, these attributes deliver a durable foundation for sump applications in narrow GM frames from mid-fifties to early millennial models.
Engineered to deliver reliable oil flow and exceptional durability in tight LS swap applications.
