Oil Pump Pick-Up AMC/ Jeep V8

The Oil Pump Pick-Up for AMC/Jeep V8 engines is a critical internal lubrication component designed for hot rodders, engine builders, and DIY mechanics who demand reliable oil delivery under high-performance conditions. This screw-in pickup tube assembly mounts directly into the stock oil pan sump, ensuring consistent oil flow to the main gallery regardless of cornering forces, acceleration loads, or sustained RPM. Whether you're running a classic Jeep 360, 401, or factory AMC V8 in a street rod application, this pickup addresses a common weak point in vintage engine designs where inadequate sump geometry can starve bearings during aggressive driving.

Engineered by MOROSO—a trusted manufacturer of performance lubrication systems—this pickup features a precision-machined intake tube with optimized inlet diameter and anti-cavitation design that minimizes air entrainment and pressure loss across the oil pump circuit. The screw-in mounting interface threads directly into factory pan bosses, eliminating the need for welding or pan modification while maintaining OEM compatibility. Compact dimensions (5 x 5 x 12 inches) ensure clearance within tight engine bays, while the modest 1.15 lb weight contributes no meaningful mass to the rotating assembly. Internal passages are finished to prevent particle generation, protecting pump gears and bearing clearances during break-in and extended operation.

This pickup is essential for anyone rebuilding or upgrading an AMC or Jeep V8 with higher displacement, compression, or RPM targets than the original design intended. Installation is straightforward—simply remove the stock pan, thread in the new pickup using the existing boss, and reassemble. Use it when stepping up to a modern oil pump, performance carburetor, or cam profile to ensure your lubrication system keeps pace with increased demand. Verify pan fitment and thread compatibility with your specific engine variant before ordering to confirm direct bolt-in application.
