A sleek new design from G-FORCE Racing Gear, the GF3 full-face helmet has set a new benchmark in quality, functionality, and style. It’s got more features than we can list here, but we’ll cover some of the highlights.

On the outside, you’ll notice the difference right away. The outer contact shell is made from a low-density, Z38 lightweight composite blend. The shell is then coated with deep, rich white or black gloss or matte black paint and finished with a protective clear-coat outer layer. The rear is accented with double-ridge lines that add both style and strength to the shell.

On the inside, G-FORCE has achieved the most user-friendly, comfortable helmet on the market, the heart of which is the G-78 impact liner made to exceed all Snell and SFI specs. It’s covered by a soft-knit, hypoallergenic, flame-retardant, padded CoolTec liner for comfort and fit, while a SpecFit channel secures eyewear. The chin strap is bolted to the shell with stainless hex-head bolts and is made from durable, flame-retardant para-aramid webbing. Carries a Snell SA2015 rating.

Features

  • Low-density, lightweight, Z38 composite shell.
  • Exceeds all Snell and SFI specs (rated Snell SA2015).
  • Padded CoolTec liner for comfort and fit.
  • SpecFit eyewear channel.
  • Flame-retardant liner.
  • G-FLOW ventilation system.
  • Integrated helmet-restraint hardware.
  • Three colors available: gloss white, gloss black, and matte black.
  • Six sizes available: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL

It’s no wonder GM’s new Gen V LT direct-injected engines are starting to find their way into a large variety of vehicles: they make great power and are durable and reliable to boot. Unfortunately, however, the factory oil pans don’t always fit—or they hang too low for today’s hot rods.

Holley’s new LT retrofit engine oil pan provides maximum clearance to the chassis and ground, along with OEM fitment for durability and proper sealing. These oil pans are perfect for 1967–2002 Camaro/Firebird, 1968–1974 Nova/Apollo/Ventura/Omega, 1978–1987 G-body, 1964–1972 A-body, and 1973–1987 Chevy/GMC full-size trucks.

Complete kit includes windage tray, sump baffle, OE-style pick-up tube, sump port plug, oil filter stud, and billet oil passage cover.

Note: Recommended camshaft stroke: 4.00”; not for use on engines that originally used a dry-sump oiling system.

Features

  • For LT engine retrofit installations in classic car and truck chassis.
  • Allows for up to 4.00” crankshaft stroke.
  • Use anywhere a GM F-body oil pan can be used.
  • 1/2” NPT port is ideal for turbo oil return or PCV oil return.
  • OEM fitment for oil filter mounting, engine NVH suppression, flange sealing, and bellhousing attachments.
  • Traditional high-quality cast aluminum appearance with clean exterior styling.
  • Maximum clearance for vehicles where the steering linkage is behind the engine cross-member.
  • Oil cooler port provision; hinge door baffles available.
