Hello,
A friend just purchased Bob Anderson's ESP camaro. It's a 1994 Z28. Bob had a shop rebuild the motor and had a high volume oil pump installed. Now there is a momentary drop in oil pressure when you are on the breaks very hard (racing hard). The Lt1 still has the factory oil pan. The oil pressure problem needs to be fixed before it goes back racing.


My current thought is that since we need to drop the K member to get at the pump or the pan, we might as well just put in a racing pan and reset the height of the oil pump. It looks like the Moroso pan and pick up tube are the way to go. Here is the pan: http://spideraccessories.stores.yahoo.net/moroso20185.html

What do you guys think?

Are their any tricks to dropping the K member? It looks fairly straight forward.

Thanks,
Chris Shay

I had a similar issue and lost a motor because of it. A stock volume pump is a requirement. You don't need all the oil on the top of the engine. I did have a high pressure spring though. And a Canton road race pan for the LT1. Problem solved. And I beat the piss out of that engine.

So is it common knowledge that the stock volume pump is required? Is is ok if the high volume pump is used with an aftermarket pan?

Does anyone know what the difference is between the Canton and Moroso oil pans?

Thanks!

That Moroso pan is a street/strip pan - their road race pan is here:

Compare the add copy between the 2 - those essential differences are true for the Canton pan, plus the Canton fits the 4th gen.

Here's the Canton:
