BBC Stage III Drag Race Oil Pan

The MOROSO BBC Stage III Drag Race Oil Pan (MOR21592) is a purpose-built dry sump solution engineered for serious bracket racers and high-horsepower big-block Chevy builds. This aluminum pan eliminates windage losses and oil aeration that plague conventional wet-sump designs during aggressive acceleration, allowing you to extract maximum power while maintaining consistent oil pressure under extreme lateral and longitudinal G-forces. Drag racing demands an oil system that performs at the edge of failure—this pan delivers exactly that.

Built from lightweight aluminum and machined to tight tolerances, the BBC Stage III features a deep 8.5-inch sump capacity paired with four 12 AN female pickup ports on the passenger side, enabling flexible external reservoir and scavenging pump plumbing. This configuration isolates oil from crankshaft agitation and prevents starvation during hard launches—critical when your engine is seeing 1G+ cornering forces or sustained high-RPM loading. The natural finish aluminum construction minimizes weight penalty while providing excellent thermal conductivity to keep oil temperatures stable during back-to-back passes. Compatible with Donovan, DRC2, and Merlin big-block platforms, this pan integrates seamlessly into professional-grade drag racing systems.

Bracket racers, prostock builders, and any driver pushing a BBC beyond 600 horsepower will find this pan essential for reliability and consistency. Installation requires custom fabrication of mounting provisions and external plumbing to a dry-sump reservoir and scavenging pump—this is a component for experienced engine builders, not bolt-on convenience. Weighing 18.6 lbs and measuring 17.4 x 9.9 x 26 inches, the BBC Stage III demands planning during engine bay layout, but the payoff is measurable: reduced oil drag, improved oiling stability, and the confidence that your lubrication system won't be the limiting factor when you're chasing ET records.
