Cheapest yet good oil pan/pump/pickup setup for my LT1 4bolt LE3 engine?

i will need these for my new engine....recommendations???

TIA!!!!

 

The stock oil system should fit the criteria. I believe some very powerful cars are running the stock oil pan with a high pressure spring in the stock pump.
As for aftermarket, I think the only option is the canton which I'm running only because I didn't wanted to modify my stock pan to clear the larger stroke.

 

I've got the Canton pan as well. Don't really remember where I bought it from- just did a goodle search on "Canton Racing Oil Pans" and found the cheapest place. You can get the pan, pickup and pump all from the same place. You'll probably spend somewhere between 4-$500 if you want to go that route.

I believe Summit sells some Milodon oil pans that might work, and they carry the pickup also.

 

There is also a pan made my Moroso.

 

Would you happen to have the part number?

 

Moroso Part number #20182.

Says it is for a 86-92 SBC, but we have used it on many LT1's without an issue. The only thing that goes away is the oil level sensor that installs into the side of the factory pan.

 

There's nothing wrong with a stock pan, pump, and pickup. Use a high pressure spring with the pump and inspect it. Here's some links to oil pump info: http://www.aa1car.com/library/2004/eb10445.htm and chevyhiperformance.com/techarticles/148_0506_how/

I would caution strongly against installing a HV pump with the stock pan. If you are using an aftermarket pan, a HV pump is ok though not needed unless the motor has loose bearing clearances.
