JGhyperX LS Swap Retrofit Oil Pan Kit for GM LS Engines — Silver, Direct-Fit 1955–1987, Baffled Pickup

The JGhyperX 302-1 LS Swap Retrofit Oil Pan Kit is a complete silver LS oil pan package engineered to let GM LS Gen III/IV engines fit classic cars and trucks while maintaining reliable oil control under spirited driving.

This retrofit oil pan kit provides the physical components and mounting geometry needed for installing LS-series engines into 1955–1987 GM muscle cars and trucks. Finished in polished silver, the kit includes the oil pan, gasket, baffle, pickup tube, and the hardware needed for a clean, sealed installation. It’s designed to work with common cartridge filters and offers improved oil control compared with many stock pans when the vehicle is cornering hard or running at high rpm.

How does this oil pan kit enable an LS swap into a classic GM chassis?

The 302-1 pan uses swap-friendly dimensions and mounting locations that clear classic subframes and crossmembers. It was engineered for Gen III and Gen IV LS blocks and accounts for steering, subframe, and exhaust routing differences commonly found in older GM cars and trucks.

• Direct-fit pan geometry for 1955–1987 GM car and truck subframes
• Includes pickup tube and sump baffle to match LS oil pickup height
• Mounting gasket and screw kit for a complete retrofit install
• Polished silver finish for corrosion resistance and show-ready appearance

What engine models and filters are compatible with the 302-1 kit?

This kit fits a wide range of LS small‑block variants including LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6 and LSX families in 4.8L through 6.2L displacements. It accepts common cartridge-style oil filters and typical Gen III/IV oil filter studs to simplify sourcing replacement parts.

• Compatible with LS Gen III and Gen IV engines (4.8L–6.2L)
• Works with oil filters: PF48, PF48E, M1-113, 57060, HP-1017, or equivalent
• Includes oil filter stud and O-ring for cartridge conversions
• Pre-sized pickup tube for standard LS oil passage clearances

How does the pan control oil during cornering and spirited use?

Internal baffling and a correctly placed pickup tube reduce oil starvation during sustained lateral loads. The kit’s sump baffle and precision-formed pan help keep oil available to the pump without excessive surge or aeration.

• Sump baffle minimizes oil slosh on hard cornering
• Pickup tube placement maintains pump intake under lateral load
• Precision-formed pan lip and gasket surface improve sealing
• Coated or polished finishes add corrosion resistance for long-term service

What arrives in the box and what mounting options are included?

The kit ships as a full retrofit package so you won’t need additional pan-specific parts for installation. Fasteners, gaskets, and oil passage parts are bundled to streamline the swap and reduce sourcing time.

• Oil pan (polished silver finish), oil pan gasket, and sump baffle
• Pickup tube, sump plug, oil filter stud, and O-ring
• Oil passage cover and complete screw mounting kit
• Product code HLY 302-1 81074 for ordering and finish options
