Oil Pan Pick-Up For Hamburger Oil PAns

The Oil Pan Pick-Up For Hamburger Oil Pans by TRANS-DAPT is a critical component for street performance engine builders working with small block Chevy applications. Designed specifically for use with shallow, modified oil pans, this pickup tube ensures reliable oil delivery to the pump under all driving conditions—a necessity when running non-stock pan geometries that would otherwise starve the pump of adequate suction. Whether you're building a street rod, performance restomod, or high-rpm engine package, proper oil supply is non-negotiable for longevity and reliability.

This pickup tube features a 5/8-inch inlet diameter and is engineered for 8-1/2-inch deep pans, making it compatible with "hamburger" style or modified pans commonly used in street performance builds. The design employs either a press or bolt-on mounting method, offering installation flexibility depending on your existing pan configuration and pump assembly setup. The compact footprint—measuring 7.65 x 3 x 8.7 inches and weighing just 0.5 lbs—ensures minimal clearance issues in tight engine bays, while the robust construction maintains structural integrity under sustained high-rpm operation and dynamic acceleration loads typical of street-driven performance vehicles.

Street performance enthusiasts upgrading to shallow oil pans will find this TRANS-DAPT pickup essential for preventing oil starvation during cornering, acceleration, and deceleration. Installation is straightforward for builders with basic mechanical skills, and the dual mounting options (press or bolt-on) accommodate various pump configurations. Compatibility is confirmed for small block Chevy platforms running custom pan setups, making this a must-have component for anyone serious about maximizing oil flow to their performance pump without relying on factory deep-pan geometry.
