55-79 SBC Steel Drag Race Oil Pan Orange

The Racing Power Co-Packaged 55-79 SBC Steel Drag Race Oil Pan in Orange is a purpose-built rear sump oil pan engineered specifically for small block Chevy drag racing applications. This 7-quart capacity steel pan delivers the shallow sump design required for high-RPM racing environments where weight transfer and ground clearance directly impact performance. The 8.25-inch depth keeps the pan low in the chassis while maintaining adequate oil volume for sustained high-speed competition.

Built from steel with a durable orange finish, this pan features a two-piece seal design that provides reliable oil containment under the extreme vibration and G-forces of drag racing. The rear sump configuration suits mid-engine conversions and chassis setups where the oil pan is positioned toward the rear of the vehicle, optimizing weight distribution on the strip. The 7-quart capacity balances oil cooling efficiency with the minimal weight penalty critical in competitive drag racing where every pound matters.

This pan is the choice for serious small block Chevy drag racers and engine builders preparing vehicles for bracket racing, bracket racing, and competition environments. Whether building a dedicated quarter-mile machine or upgrading an existing drag platform, the shallow depth and small block Chevy fitment ensure compatibility with tight engine bay layouts typical of race cars. The visible orange finish provides easy identification in engine bay work and complements the visual identity of high-performance builds.

Small block Chevy drag race oil pans have long been a cornerstone of amateur and professional racing programs, offering a proven platform for reliability under sustained high-RPM operation. The rear sump design and shallow profile represent the industry standard for modern drag racing chassis configurations, making this Racing Power Co-Packaged option a direct fit for vehicles originally equipped with similar specifications or as an upgrade for dedicated race engine builds.
