The Texas Speed LT Low Profile Retrofit Oil Pan Kit in satin is a cast aluminum swap pan for GM Gen V LT engines going into classic cars and trucks that need more oil pan clearance than the factory pan allows. Texas Speed designed it to suit a range of vehicles and swap combinations and describes it as giving maximum ground and K-member clearance while retaining the durability and reliability of the factory cast pans. This is the satin version, manufacturer part number 81577.
Fitment is OE style, so the factory oil filter mounting is retained and the pan seals with OE style gaskets. The complete kit includes a wet sump baffle, an OE style pickup tube, plugs and gaskets. Texas Speed lists compatibility with the L83, L84 and L82 5.3L, the LT1, L86 and L87 6.2L and the LT4. A black powder finish version is also offered under part number 81577BK.

FAQ
What engines does the Texas Speed satin LT Low Profile Retrofit Oil Pan Kit fit?
Texas Speed lists this pan for GM Gen V LT engines including the L83, L84 and L82 5.3L, the LT1, L86 and L87 6.2L and the LT4. It is intended for LT engines being swapped into classic cars and trucks.
Is the Texas Speed LT retrofit pan vehicle specific?
No. It is a swap pan designed to fit a number of different vehicles and engine swap combinations rather than one factory application, so clearance should be checked in the chassis receiving the engine.
What comes in the LT low profile pan kit?
The complete kit includes the satin cast aluminum low profile pan, a wet sump baffle, an OE style pickup tube, plugs and gaskets, so the pan installs without sourcing separate components.
Does this pan retain the factory oil filter location?
Yes. The Texas Speed LT retrofit pan uses OE style fitment, retaining the factory oil filter mounting and sealing with OE style gaskets, so service stays the same as a stock Gen V engine.
How does the satin pan differ from the black version?
Only the finish differs. The satin pan is part number 81577 and the black pan is 81577BK; both share the same cast aluminum low profile design, clearance and kit contents.
