LS1 C/T Steel Oil Pan Open Chassis Style

The CANTON LS1 C/T Steel Oil Pan Open Chassis Style is purpose-built for circle track and open-chassis competition vehicles running GM LS-series engines. Whether you're campaigning a dirt late model, asphalt short-track racer, or open-wheel competitor, this rear-sump design delivers reliable oil containment and lubrication under sustained lateral load and aggressive cornering that would overwhelm conventional street pans. The open-chassis configuration eliminates obstructions, maximizing ground clearance and simplifying installation on fabricated tube frames common in racing environments.

Constructed from high-strength steel and finished in cadmium plating for corrosion resistance, this pan features a 7-quart capacity with a 4.75-inch depth—shallow enough to fit low-sump applications while providing adequate oil volume for extended run times. The rear-sump configuration maintains oil around the pickup tube during hard cornering and braking, preventing cavitation and ensuring consistent engine feed pressure when centrifugal forces would compromise shallow front-mount designs. Weighing 15.95 pounds, the steel construction offers durability and thermal mass that aids heat dissipation during high-RPM circle-track sessions.

This pan is engineered for LS1 and compatible LS-architecture engines in open-chassis and tube-frame racecars where fabricated mounting provisions can be adapted. Racers and engine builders value this design for dirt, asphalt, and oval-track competition where reliability and consistent oiling trump weight savings. Installation requires mounting provisions matching the rear-sump layout and verification that the 13.5 × 9.5 × 26-inch footprint clears your specific frame and suspension geometry. For circle-track competitors seeking a proven, competition-grade oil pan solution, the CANTON LS1 C/T Steel Oil Pan delivers race-ready performance and dependability.
