Older engines under performance driving conditions may face oil system issues. Insufficient oil capacity or effective oil pan baffling can cause starvation issues during hard cornering. This often leads to a damaged or exploded oil pump and/or engine failure.
This aluminum oil pan addresses each shortcoming of the original design. The aluminum material and increased oil capacity to 6 1/4 quarts, helps dissipate heat. In addition, internal baffling with trap doors supply a steady amount of oil to the pickup, effectively eliminating oil starvation.
