One of the most common headaches in an LS swap is finding an oil pan that doesn't hang below the chassis. Most aftermarket LS oil pans either hang too low or interfere with chassis clearance — causing ground clearance problems that can be difficult or impossible to resolve after the engine is in. Speed Engineering's LS swap conversion oil pan is engineered specifically to provide the best possible clearance for swap applications across the most popular classic GM platforms. Built from cast and machined aluminum with a 6 quart capacity and a maximum crankshaft stroke of 4.25" — covering both stock displacement and most popular stroker configurations.
Note: Does NOT fit G-body applications (1982–1988 Malibu, Monte Carlo, El Camino, Cutlass, Regal, etc.)
