Crafted from corrosion-resistant aluminum, this low-profile rear-sump pan aims to clear chassis constraints while delivering dependable oil capacity for daily driving and weekend builds. It’s compatible with a traditional rear-sump setup and is intended for GM rear-wheel-drive applications that originally used a small- or big-block Chevy oil pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you gain\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned to balance weight, strength, and heat management, this kit combines several proven benefits that matter in real-world use. The aluminum construction is lightweight yet strong, offering rapid heat dissipation to help stabilize oil temperature during spirited driving and long highway sessions. The rear sump and low-profile design provide extra ground clearance, which is valuable when routing exhaust, suspension, or during aggressive cornering. The kit supports a 5.5-quart sump with a total capacity of 6.0 quarts when paired with a stock filter, giving you a solid buffer for lubrication under varied driving conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe package includes a full hardware set and essential components to simplify installation. A windage tray helps manage oil flow, while the pickup tube and sump baffle work together to maintain consistent oil delivery and reduce the risk of aeration. In addition to the pan itself, you receive a gasket, sump plug, 23 bolts, and necessary covers and O-rings, so you can complete the swap with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Brand New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSump location: Rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSump capacity: 5.5 quarts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal capacity with stock filter: 6.0 quarts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: 1955–1987 GM Muscle\/Classic cars and trucks with LS Gen III\/IV V8 engines (NOT for 5.3L Gen IV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes and compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease verify your application before ordering.
