Oil Pan - SBF 302 Rear Sump

The Oil Pan - SBF 302 Rear Sump from KEVKO Oil Pans & Components is a purpose-built engine oil pan engineered for Small Block Ford 302 engines configured in rear-sump applications, particularly for circle track racing and high-performance engine builds. This zinc-plated steel pan addresses a critical cooling and oil management challenge in competition and modified street engines where standard sumps create packaging constraints or inadequate oil capacity. Designed for builders and mechanics who need reliable oil containment with authentic race-proven geometry, this rear-sump configuration delivers the 7-quart capacity and 7.5-inch depth required for aggressive driving, forced induction compatibility, and extended oil residence time.

Constructed from heavy-gauge steel with a durable zinc-plated finish, the Oil Pan - SBF 302 Rear Sump resists corrosion while maintaining structural integrity under sustained high-RPM operation and cornering loads typical of circle track environments. The rear-sump design relocates the oil pickup point to the engine's rear, enabling mid-engine or alternative frame configurations while improving weight distribution in race-car setups. With a 7-quart capacity and 7.5-inch sump depth, the pan accommodates oil expansion during heat cycles and maintains adequate oil level during aggressive acceleration, cornering, and deceleration—critical factors that prevent windage losses and pickup starvation in performance applications. The zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for both competition and street-driven builds exposed to moisture and road salt.

This rear-sump oil pan is ideal for circle track racers, engine builders, and performance enthusiasts retrofitting Small Block Ford 302 engines into custom chassis or competition vehicles where front-sump pans create clearance or packaging conflicts. Mechanics and builders benefit from KEVKO's precision manufacturing—each pan is engineered to OEM mounting specifications while optimizing sump geometry for consistent oil delivery under race-track stress. The kit format ensures compatibility with standard SBF 302 engine blocks, and the robust 16-pound construction guarantees reliability through multiple seasons of competitive use or high-mileage street performance. Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and standard engine-pan removal procedures; ensure proper gasket sealing and torque specifications are followed to prevent oil leaks during operation.
