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

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.

Stuffing an SB Chevy V8 or new-era LS motor into an S-10/S-15, Blazer/Jimmy, or Sonoma is a complex-yet-rewarding project. Doing the job yourself presents its own set of challenges, not the least of which is finding aftermarket components that work together to make the project run more smoothly.

Trans-Dapt Performance has partnered with Hedman and Hamburger’s Performance to create its Engine Swap-in-a-Box kit—the ultimate S-10 engine swap kit around. Each kit contains motor mounts/pads, a performance oil pan, and a complete set of Hedman hedders. The different kits vary only in regard to the included header; the 44062 contains Standard-Duty HTC-coated factory heads.

  • All parts designed to work together seamlessly.
  • Takes the guesswork out of component selection.
  • Includes motor mounts/pads, performance oil pan, and HTC-coated headers.
