The LT4 is lowered back in place, and the fit is verified. It’s still a bit tight, and the harness will need to be held upward during install to fit cleanly in the new panel’s recess.

Nice work, so the A/C compressor fits the subframe without modification?

Thanks guys! The A/C appears to fit so far.

Doom, don't think of it that way... another person got the BBC from this car, so it lives on!

The LT4 runs a dry sump oiling system, meaning it does not have traditional oil pan holding the engine oil supply. Instead, the oil is stored in a seperate tank outside the engine and is pumped through the engine. The benefit is more consistent oil delivery during high speed turns and increased oil cooling and capacity. Also, the pump is more efficient and easier to service than a traditional oil pump.

The down side is the need for complex plumbing and an oil reservoir tank under the hood. Also, it can be challenging to bring the engine oil up to operating temperature in daily-driving conditions thanks to the higher capacity and cooling effects of remote tanks and plumbing.

Locating the tank can be tricky, as one must consider packaging under the hood. In a race car, you ideally want the tank to be “inside” the wheelbase of the car where you can place it to compliment the vehicle’s balance. However, packaging compromises can dictate otherwise.

In our case, we elected to install the custom Peterson Fluid Systems tank in the forward part of the passenger fender.



Baffle in the tank



The footprint of our tank is 7” in diameter. We cut a hole in the inner fender to accommodate the tank.

Note that this Camaro has an RS grille and hidden headlights, so we’ll have to address the light mechanism as we go.





We made an aluminum bracket to mount the tank retaining clamp.








The tank is barely visible peeking into the passenger front wheel tub.

The tank will receive protective coating on the lower half.
