GM LS Engine Aluminum Oil Pan 5.5 Qt. Black

The GM LS Engine Aluminum Oil Pan 5.5 Qt. in Black from Racing Power Co-Packaged is a purpose-built replacement oil pan engineered for GM LS-series engine swaps and performance builds. This rear-sump aluminum pan delivers 5.5-quart capacity while maintaining stock depth, making it compatible with existing engine bays without requiring custom fabrication or frame modifications.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum and finished with black powder coat, this LS engine oil pan combines durability with corrosion resistance. The rear-sump design positions the pickup tube toward the back of the pan, critical for vehicles where front-mount sump clearance conflicts with suspension geometry or ground clearance targets. The 5.5-quart reservoir balances adequate oil volume for sustained high-RPM operation while fitting within the factory envelope, eliminating the need for custom mounting brackets or modifications to cooling systems and accessory drives.

This pan is essential for LS engine conversions into classic muscle cars, street rods, and modern platform swaps where bolt-in compatibility with original chassis dimensions is non-negotiable. Enthusiasts performing LS platform engine swaps, performance restorations, or track-focused builds rely on stock-depth pans to avoid custom fabrication delays and expense. Racing Power Co-Packaged designs oil pans specifically for these scenarios, where OEM pans may not fit the application or aftermarket options sacrifice either capacity or installation simplicity.

Part number R8460BK is the correct identifier when ordering replacement or additional pans for fleet installations or when upgrading existing LS builds. The aluminum construction keeps weight minimal compared to cast-iron alternatives, supporting lighter engine bay setups without sacrificing oil retention or thermal stability.
