Ford 351W R/R Oil Pan - 9qt. Front Sump

The Ford 351W R/R Oil Pan - 9qt. Front Sump by CANTON is a street and strip-proven engine oil pan engineered for serious Small Block Ford enthusiasts and mechanics building high-performance mills. This front-mounted sump design delivers superior oil capacity and control during aggressive acceleration, deceleration, and cornering—critical for vehicles that see track time or demanding road racing. Whether you're upgrading a vintage 351W stroker or modernizing a carbureted street engine, this pan replaces stock designs with a purpose-built solution that maintains consistent oil delivery to the pump under all driving conditions.

Built from durable steel and finished in cadmium plating for corrosion resistance, the CANTON 15-680 features an 8-inch deep profile with 9-quart total capacity—the extra volume provides superior thermal mass and reduces the risk of starvation during sustained high-rpm operation or multi-lap sessions. The front-sump design positions the pickup tube optimally for gravity-assisted oil flow while minimizing sloshing effects that compromise pressure stability. Cadmium plating protects the pan from rust and road salt, ensuring longevity in both street and competition environments. At 17.95 lbs, the pan's weight is competitive for steel construction, with compact footprint dimensions that integrate cleanly under most 351W installations without requiring custom exhaust or suspension modifications.

This oil pan is ideal for Small Block Ford applications ranging from street-driven hot rods to road-race and strip competitors who demand reliable oil control and consistent engine protection. Mechanics and engine builders choose front-sump designs like the CANTON when stock pans limit capacity or fail to manage oil flow during aggressive driving. Verify clearance with your specific block revision and accessory configuration before installation; the compact dimensions accommodate most standard mounting locations. Pair this pan with quality synthetic oil, a proper pickup tube, and baffle design for maximum reliability and longevity in high-demand 351W engines.
