Description
LH8 Low-Profile Oil Pan for LS Engine Swaps
When tackling an LS engine conversion in a classic GM chassis with tight clearances, the LH8 Oil Pan delivers a compact design that simplifies oil management under dynamic conditions. Its integrated pickup tube girdle maintains consistent flow even in hard cornering, and the billet aluminum construction resists distortion under extreme heat. Installation follows the factory pan footprint used on GM models from 1955 to 2005, making it a direct fit for most Chevy and GMC swaps. Pairing seamlessly with the AC oil filter PF48, it captures contaminants to protect moving parts and reduce engine wear.
Innovative Pickup Tube Girdle Ensures Stable Oil Flow
The integrated pickup tube girdle fortifies the oil pickup assembly to prevent movement under high lateral loads. During hard cornering or sudden acceleration, this reinforced structure maintains consistent oil pressure at the pump inlet, eliminating the risk of starvation. By securing the pickup tube in a rigid cradle, the LH8 Oil Pan preserves steady flow in demanding driving scenarios and protects critical engine bearings from oil deprivation.
Premium Aluminum Construction Resists Heat Distortion
Machined from billet aluminum, the LH8 Oil Pan offers exceptional stiffness and thermal conductivity. Aluminum's natural ability to disperse heat prevents warping and gasket distortion during extended high RPM operation. The lightweight design reduces overall engine mass without sacrificing strength, ensuring the pan holds its shape under extreme temperatures and maintains a reliable seal against the block.
Seamless AC Oil Filter PF48 Integration Protects Engine Components
Purpose-built for the AC Oil Filter PF48, this pan features a built-in filter boss that positions the element for optimal flow and filtration efficiency. Oil passes through a high-capacity filter media that captures microscopic contaminants before they circulate through bearings, camshafts, and valve train components. Eliminating the need for external brackets or hoses, the integrated filter mount streamlines the oiling system and simplifies maintenance.
Factory Footprint Design Simplifies Classic GM Engine Conversions
Adhering to the original GM oil pan mounting pattern used from 1955 through 2005, the LH8 Oil Pan drops directly onto LS engine blocks without modification. This faithful footprint avoids the custom fabrication often required in engine swaps and reduces installation time. DIY enthusiasts and professional builders alike benefit from a direct-fit solution that minimizes potential leak points and ensures proper alignment with existing crossmember and steering components.
Engineered for a precise fit and reliable oil delivery in your LS installation.
