Installing a Mast Oil Pan

[paulk68]

Hey Guys, I am getting close to installing my new mast ls oil pan on my crate LS3. has anyone done this swap recently is it pretty straight forward? Can you think of any tips/tricks that you used. My plan was to reuse the oil pan gasket that came on my motor as well as the stock windage tray. Has anyone had any fitment issues using those stock parts? also will my stock dipstick and dipstick tube work as well?
thanks

My Mast pan was a direct bolt on, no issues at all. My engine is a 2004 GTO LS-1 and that required a different dip stick tube and dip stick in which Mast also provided as an extra cost option. Real pleased with the quality and fit of everything. Tim john---

I just installed one also and no issues. I had to dig up my windage tray nuts that came with my arp kit as my previous pan (Holley 302-1) had a pickup with a single support. Mast has two.

Happy with how it all went together and I did opt for basically every option they had (dipstick and tube, oil cooler, etc)

The pan has some casting flaws I'm not thrilled about but it will be fully functional. Also I wish the port on the back has more space for a sensor or fitting. And drawing of that needs to be updated as the thread identified in the drawing is incorrect.

Not meaning to hijack' but does the mast pan come with a provision for oil temp gauge sender?

That was one of my complaints. The port on the back of the filter boss looks like it's made to be adapted for that. But you can't get a fitting over the hardware. I put a button head on it and thinking will work but other than that, it's not really made for a sensor.

I have some pics if you want I can host to show better what I'm talking about.

No problems on my LS3 reused my pan gasket. Fits easy with DSE frame.
