SBC 8in.Claimer Pan W/LT 57 - 85

The SBC 8in. Claimer Pan with LT mounting compatibility (1957–1985) is purpose-built for small-block Chevrolet engine builders and street mechanics working on classic restoration or high-performance builds. This oil pan serves as the foundation of your engine's lubrication system, designed to fit the unique geometry and mounting points of Small-Block Chevrolet engines while accommodating the 8-inch depth constraint common in tight engine compartments and street rod installations.

Champ Pans engineered this claimer-style design with a formed steel construction that provides structural rigidity while maintaining a shallow 8-inch profile—critical when working within the vertical constraints of vintage frames or modern chassis setups. The internal baffle and sump geometry are optimized to prevent oil starvation during hard cornering and aggressive acceleration by keeping the pickup tube submerged even under lateral load.

Restoration shops, weekend warriors, and competitive engine builders rely on this pan when updating cooling and lubrication systems for Small-Block Chevrolet engines. The LT-specific mounting bosses and gasket surface finish eliminate guesswork during installation, ensuring a leak-free seal when paired with proper RTV or gasket material and correct torque sequencing on the pan bolts.
