Oil Pump Pick-Up BBC 10in Deep Sump

The Oil Pump Pick-Up BBC 10in Deep Sump from MOROSO is a precision-engineered oil delivery component designed for Big Block Chevy engines running deep-pan sumps. This bolt-on pickup tube sits at the foundation of reliable engine lubrication, ensuring consistent oil flow from sump to pump during sustained operation. Whether you're rebuilding a street engine, preparing a track vehicle, or servicing a heavy-duty application, a properly matched pickup tube is non-negotiable for preventing oil starvation—a failure mode that can destroy bearings and cam surfaces in seconds.

Engineered for 10-inch deep sump pans, this MOROSO pickup is manufactured to OEM-equivalent tolerances and optimized inlet geometry to minimize cavitation and maximize flow efficiency across the RPM band. The bolt-on design allows straightforward installation without special tools or extensive engine disassembly, and the 1.3 lbs compact footprint (4.3 x 4.3 x 6.6 inches) integrates seamlessly into Big Block Chevy configurations. The tube diameter and length are calibrated to match the specific sump depth and pan geometry—critical details that prevent the intake from drawing air and losing prime during hard acceleration or cornering.

This pickup suits Big Block Chevy engines—BBC platforms commonly found in performance builds, marine applications, and vintage restorations—that have been fitted with aftermarket deep-pan sumps for increased oil capacity and thermal management. Technicians and builders select this component when OEM or mismatched pickups fail to reach adequate oil volume or when deeper pans require extended tube lengths. Proper installation ensures the strainer sits fully submerged and clear of the pan bottom, sustaining oil delivery under all load conditions.
