Low Profile Retro Fit Front Sump Pan - Polished

• Front-sump aluminum pan solves clearance where rear-sump pans won't fit

• Mounts to stock wet-sump LS pickup and retains factory oil filter location

• Fits LS Gen III/IV engines needing a front-sump wet-sump configuration

• Requires TSP's 81080 dipstick — stock LS dipsticks will not work

Some LS swap chassis simply don't have room for a rear-sump pan, whether due to steering rack placement, crossmember position, or oil pan depth. This cast-aluminum front-sump oil pan is built for exactly that scenario, giving LS Gen III/IV engines (4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L/350, 6.0L, and 6.2L) a wet-sump front-sump configuration when a standard rear-sump pan won't clear.

The pan mounts to the stock LS oil pickup and retains the factory oil filter location, so no filter relocation kit is needed. It provides a maximum pan depth of 5.625 inches and up to 4.250 inches of stroke clearance. Because the front-sump layout changes dipstick geometry, it requires TSP's 81080 dipstick — a stock-style LS dipstick will not work with this pan.

Cast from lightweight aluminum with a polished finish, the pan holds 6.0 quarts and includes internal baffling to help manage oil movement under acceleration and cornering. It is not designed for LS7 or LS9 dry-sump applications. Engine position may need adjustment for clearance depending on the specific application.

Applications
Covers LS Gen III/IV displacements: 4.8L (293 in³), 5.3L (325 in³), 5.7L/350 (346 in³), 6.0L (364 in³), and 6.2L (376 in³). Front-sump, wet-sump configuration — not compatible with LS7 or LS9 dry-sump engines. No specific vehicle platforms are published for this pan; fitment should be confirmed by chassis clearance rather than a fixed vehicle list.

Installation
Includes gasket, mounting hardware, drain plug, oil pickup, oil filter stud, and oil passage cover. Uses 17 mounting holes and an M12 x 1.75 drain plug thread. Requires TSP's 81080 dipstick — a stock-style LS dipstick will not clear the front-sump layout. Engine fore/aft position and height may need adjustment for chassis clearance depending on the vehicle.

Why does this pan need a special dipstick?
The front-sump configuration changes dipstick length and angle, so this pan requires TSP's 81080 dipstick — a stock-style LS dipstick will not work.

What's different about a front-sump pan compared to a rear-sump pan?
This pan relocates the sump to the front of the pan rather than the rear, changing clearance around the steering rack, crossmember, and oil pickup for chassis where a rear-sump pan won't fit.

Will this oil pan work with an LS7 or LS9 engine?
No — it's designed for wet-sump LS Gen III/IV engines and does not support LS7 or LS9 dry-sump oiling systems.

What's the oil capacity of this pan?
6.0 quarts, with internal baffling to help control oil movement under acceleration and cornering.

What oil filter fits this pan?
It retains the stock LS oil filter location and accepts an AC Delco PF48/PF48E, K&N HP-1017, or equivalent filter.

What's the maximum stroke and depth this pan clears?
Up to 4.250 inches of stroke clearance and a maximum pan depth of 5.625 inches.

Does this pan come with the gasket and mounting hardware?
Yes, both the gasket and mounting hardware are included, along with the oil pickup, oil filter stud, and oil passage cover.
