another ls pan question

[robertjra]

That is the Hummer pan as far as I know and it sits too low, roughly 2 inches below the crossmember.

ya i have that pan in my 69 and it sits low

holley pan is just a bucket of oil http://holley.com/360Degrees.asp?partNumber=302-1

mast pan http://www.mastmotorsports.com/2010/...ew.php?cat=Oil Pans&id=160 has baffles cast into the sump

Not saying the Holley pan is bad, just that the mast pan is better

The mast link won't work but go to www.mastmotorsports.com and you can see the pan under GEN IV products

I read somewhere that the Mast doesnt have the holes to bolt to the bell housing and Holley's pan does, is this true? If it is, how important is this?

It does not have the holes that bolt to the transmission bellhousing. I am sure that this makes the setup a little less strong, but I have no worry about it.

As Chris and others have stated.... The Mast pan is a super nice piece! I have sold and installed many of these since they have been out. They are a perfect fit in many applications. Been watching Chris.... Looking good bro!

Yeah Trav...too bad it took a while for you to be a Mast distributor... I bought my Mast pan as soon as the engine arrived at Brian's... BTW, the motor is in the car and we forgot to punch out the dip stick plug... Is it the one on the pax side and can we do it with the engine in the car??

Yea TC... its on the passenger side just forward of the starter in the block. You can do it with it in the car..... a little patience is required. Its basically a very small freeze plug. Im going to start sending out a sheet with the motors with this info on it to try and help solve this. Its very easy to over look this when doing the pan swap.

Yep... I had a minor freakout when I went to install the dipstick and there wasn't any hole to put it in

Punched it into the pan and spent over an hour digging it out . With the pan off it would have been a 30 second ordeal!

One of the many fun moments in the swap!

I just found this on their website, lots of pictures. It doesn't look those holes are there http://www.mastmotorsports.com/2010/..._pan_views.pdf My Keisler bellhousing doesn't have the holes to bolt to the pan either.

Thanks Travis! I'll make sure I let Brian know... I was at the shop yesterday and he is almost finished with a track car that needed to be done for a guy (bumped my car to the back burner). Brian should start hitting it this weekend!
