LS Aluminum Rear Sump Low-Profile Retro-Fit Oil Pan with Added Clearance - Black

• Low-profile aluminum pan adds ground and chassis clearance for LS swaps

• Mounts to stock wet-sump LS pickup and accepts the factory-style oil filter

• Fits Fox Body Mustang/Capri K-members and classic GM rear-sump chassis

• Dual threaded 1/2 in. NPT bosses provide turbo oil-return capability

Swapping an LS engine into a Fox Body Mustang, Capri, or classic GM muscle car chassis often means finding clearance for the oil pan around the K-member, rack-and-pinion steering, or crossmember. This cast-aluminum, low-profile rear-sump oil pan is built for that swap, fitting LS Gen III/IV engines (4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L/350, 6.0L, and 6.2L) into chassis originally equipped with a GM small or big block V8 and a rear-sump pan.

Additional cutouts are machined into the pan to clear factory-style Fox Body K-member and rack-and-pinion setups, making it a common choice for Mustang (1979-2004) and Capri (1979-1986) LS swaps, alongside classic GM applications like Camaro/Firebird (1967-1969), Nova/Apollo/Ventura/Omega (1982-1992), A-body (1964-1972), G-body (1978-1987), and F-body (1982-1992). The pan also includes a threaded 1/2 in. NPT boss on each side, providing built-in oil-return provisions for turbocharged builds.

The pan mounts to the stock LS oil pickup and retains the factory oil filter location, so it bolts in without switching to a dry-sump system. Cast from lightweight aluminum with a satin finish, it holds 5.90 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. Installation requires an LS3-style dipstick and tube (GM #12669528 and #12625031), and engine position may need adjustment for clearance depending on the application.
