Default Front sump pan

I'm putting a LS in a rear engine sand rail, and will probably go with a front sump pan, has anyone used anything that is a little cheaper than the GTO pan?

I picked my GTO pan up used. It was reasonably priced. Is a common swap for Chevy II's. You might find a used one in the classifieds here or on stevesnovasite.com.

Check 04-06 GTO Trade and sell on fac-book. Improved racing makes a baffle for that pan also.

Default Full Length Oil Pan

Hi, I cast a "full length" Oil Pan made for Sand Cars/Mid Engine Cars.

I can send some pictures ?

I have had better luck with a "full length" pan as the same angle occurs when gong DOWN a STEEP Dune.

I also have the Holden Pan (used, like new).
What is the cost of the one you found ?

Default Full Length Oil Pan

Hi, this Cast Oil Pan is MADE to strengthen the AL Block, VERY Thick Walls.
This IS a requirement of the OEM GM Oil Pan, to make the block flex less.
The use of a rear engine position in Desert Racing allows for rocks/stones that can puncture the "sheet metal" oil pan, NOT this cast pan.
The Oil Bosses "relocate" the filter AWAY from the rocks AND the use of a Standard size GM filter increases the filtration area with MUCH more Oil Flow.
There are TWO Oil Drain Plugs with magnets included allowing for either engine angle required for a complete oil drain.

Discounts are given to LS-1 Tech Members, thus the same price as in your PM.
