Known for their low expense and great power potential, LS engines are among the most popular for swaps; unfortunately, stock LS oil pans don’t always fit where you need them to. That’s where the 81073 low-profile, retro-fit oil pan from Top Street Performance comes in.

Made from lightweight cast aluminum, it allows for increased clearance to the ground and chassis and will fit many GM rear-wheel drive applications originally equipped with an SBC or BBC engine and factory rear sump pan. Meticulously designed, this Top Street Performance oil pan will mount perfectly to any wet-sump LS engine and take the stock oil filter. Fits most LS engines, except LS7/9 dry sump applications.

Features

  • For LS engines (except LS7 and LS9 dry sump applications)
  • Made from lightweight cast aluminum
  • Allows for increased clearance to the ground and chassis
  • Fits many GM rear-wheel applications originally equipped with an SBC/BBC engine and factory rear sump pan
  • Warranty: limited
