Hey guys. I know Pro Touring LSx S-10s aren't exactly a dime a dozen, but that's the long-term project I have in mind. Got a '93 S-10 in great shape cheap, got a complete 4.8/4L60E for cheap, so that's that.
I was planning on putting together a budget Pro Touring build, lowering spindles and springs, tubular control arms, ZQ8 stuff, the usual. I was intending to use the popular H3 Oil Pan kit to drop the engine in... Only to hear that this might be a problem when I decide to go road racing or auto-cross.
Apparently LSx engines are bad for oil starvation during hard cornering? Brief searches show everyone talking about higher pressure and higher-flow pumps, but apparently the bigger problem is the baffling in the oil pan. Does anyone know of an oil pan that will fit my application that has proper baffling for hard cornering? I don't know if a C5 Vette pan will fit without cutting.
Thanks!
