Top Street Performance (81075): LS Aluminum Rear Sump Low-Profile Retro-Fit Oil Pan with Added Clearance

LS engines are among the most popular for swaps because of their low expense and great power potential. Unfortunately, stock LS oil pans do not always fit where you want them to.

It will fit many GM rear-wheel drive applications that are originally equipped with a small block or big block Chevy engine and with a factory rear sump pan. 

This oil pan is meticulously designed to mount perfectly to any wet-sump LS engine and it is compatible with the stock oil filter. This pan also features a boss on each side designed for an oil return for turbochargers. Added cut-outs also make this model a great fit with the OEM Ford Fox Body K-Member. It is also ideal for `79-`04 Mustang, `79-`86 Capri, `67-`69 Camaro/Firebird, `82-`92 Nova/Apollo/Ventura/Omega, `64-`72 A-body, `78-`87 G-body, & `82-92 F-body engines.
