GM LS 5qt Oil Pan Street/Strip

The MOROSO GM LS 5qt Oil Pan Street/Strip is a rear-sump design engineered specifically for LS-series engine swaps and performance street applications. Built from steel with a durable black powder-coat finish, this oil pan combines practical capacity with a shallow 6-inch depth that maintains clearance for intake manifolds, headers, and low-profile installation scenarios common in street and strip builds.

The 5-quart capacity balances adequate volume for sustained operation with a compact footprint—critical for tight engine bays where traditional deep-sump designs create fitment conflicts. Rear-sump configuration positions the pickup and drain plug toward the back of the pan, enabling front-end oil circulation patterns that work well with LS engines in transverse and longitudinal orientations. The black powder coat protects against oxidation and presents a clean finished appearance under the hood, a consideration builders value when showcasing custom engine work.

This pan is designed for enthusiasts performing LS swaps into older platforms, street rod builds, or performance street/strip combos where factory pan geometry doesn't work. The shallow depth and rear-sump layout are optimized to clear aftermarket intake manifolds and header designs common in these builds. At 15.8 pounds, the pan's weight is a consideration in weight-sensitive builds; the steel construction prioritizes reliability and durability over ultra-light materials.

Kit configuration means MOROSO includes necessary gaskets and hardware, reducing the need for sourcing additional sealing components. Builders installing LS engines outside their original application will find this pan addresses one of the core fitment challenges: maintaining adequate oil supply while clearing intake and ignition systems unique to the swap platform.
