Retro-Fit Oil Pan GM LS Swap GM F-Body Gen-1

The Holley 302-2BK oil pan is a game-changer for LS swap projects. I installed it on a classic GM chassis where clearance around the crossmember and steering linkage was always an issue, and this pan solved the problem perfectly. The additional front clearance compared to the 302-1 makes a huge difference in tight engine bays.

Build quality is exactly what you’d expect from Holley — heavy-duty cast aluminum, precise machining, and a clean black finish that looks sharp under the car. The kit comes complete with the pickup tube, sump baffle, and hardware, so you’re not chasing down extra parts.

Oil control is solid, and I haven’t had any issues with leaks or fitment. It retains OEM-style provisions for the oil filter and cooler ports, which makes integration straightforward.

If you’re planning an LS swap into a muscle car, G-body, F-body, or classic truck, the 302-2BK is worth every penny. It saves time, avoids headaches, and gives you the clearance you need without sacrificing performance.

Pros:

Extra clearance at the front of the pan

High-quality cast aluminum construction

Includes pickup tube, baffle, and hardware

OEM-style fitment and provisions

Cons:

Price is on the higher side, but you get what you pay for

Overall, this is one of the best LS swap pans available — highly recommended for anyone serious about doing it right the first time.
