Ford 4.6L/5.4L Oil Pan T-Sump Road Race

The CANTON Ford 4.6L/5.4L Oil Pan T-Sump Road Race (Part #15-794) is a performance-grade rear sump oil pan engineered for Ford modular engine platforms. This 7-quart capacity pan features a rear-mounted configuration optimized for track and road racing applications where low-profile packaging and improved weight distribution are critical to vehicle dynamics.

Built from steel and finished in zinc plating for corrosion resistance, this pan delivers a 5-inch depth that balances oil capacity with ground clearance—a decisive factor in road racing setups where chassis height must be minimized without sacrificing engine lubrication volume. The T-sump design positions the pickup tube centrally, ensuring consistent oil delivery during aggressive cornering, acceleration, and braking. The 7-quart capacity provides adequate reserve while reducing parasitic weight compared to larger-displacement pans, a consideration that directly impacts lap times and fuel economy in performance driving.

This pan is purpose-built for 4.6L and 5.4L modular engines commonly found in high-performance Ford applications, including late-generation Mustangs, F-Series trucks, and engine-swap platforms. Road racers and track enthusiasts specify CANTON oil pans for their engineering precision and manufacturing consistency. The rear-sump configuration is essential for vehicles where front-mounted engine positioning demands compensating geometry elsewhere—particularly in tube-frame race cars and extensively modified street machines where factory sump location interferes with suspension components or ground clearance targets.

Compatibility is limited to Ford modular engines; verify bolt pattern and clearance before installation. The zinc-plated finish provides baseline protection in most environments but may require additional treatment in high-corrosion conditions such as salt-water exposure or winter salt applications.
