Default Oil pan

Running an LSA in my 70 Camaro Build with a DSE sub-frame. IS the Holley oil pan a good choice for this set up? I ran the Holley pan on my last build, 69 Camaro w/stock sub - it worked out great.

The newer design (302-2) is the way to go. The 302-1 pan JUST touched the rack in my 69 with DSE frame.

LSA should be able to use the 302-2 no problem, but check to be sure (I didn't and didn't realize it didn't clear my 427 crank). Glad I spun mine to check!

I think that the newer 302-3 pan is designed for a 4” stroke. I’m not sure about the outer dimensions, concerning fitment however.

I would also check out AutoKraft as their pans have built in baffles/trap doors. That's what I'm running on my Chevelle.

Check out the dimensions of the Mast oil pan. Comes with a cast in baffle too.

External dimensions on the 302-3 are identical to the 302-2 pan, other than the front corner notch to the sump to clear the mustang k-member. Besides the 4" stroke clearance, it has turbo oil drain plugs built to the sides. Those are the main differences.

Thanks for the input everyone. I was looking at the MAST 401-011, which is the one DSE mentions on their site as compatible with their Sub frame. Anyone have any experience with this pan??

I just bought a Mast oil pan. I'm running a different set up as you though, I have a 55 Chevy with a LS3 and an AME chassis, so I can't help you with fitment. I was looking at the Holley pans also. I went with the Mast pan mostly because it has a baffle cast into it and comes with a baffle cover. Stock windage tray also fits inside. The Holley pan you have to purchase the baffle separate for another $200 or so. It'll fit a stroker crank if ever needed also.

And here is a couple pictures of the Mast oil pan for reference on depth, compared to a QuickTime bell housing. The oil pan is ~ 1/2" shorter.
