Oil Pump Pick-Up For 16-724

The CANTON Oil Pump Pick-Up For 16-724 is a precision-engineered oil pickup tube designed for street, strip, and road race applications on modified Ford Cleveland engines and variants. This bolt-on component directly addresses a critical lubrication challenge in high-performance builds: reliable oil supply to the pump at all engine speeds and angles. Whether you're running a mild street machine or a competition-grade Cleveland, a quality pickup tube is non-negotiable—inadequate oil delivery starves bearings and cams, leading to catastrophic engine failure.

This pickup is engineered to work with 10-inch-deep oil pans, a common depth in Cleveland builds where clearance and pan geometry demand compatibility. The design minimizes turbulence and air entrainment in the oil stream, ensuring consistent flow rates from cold start through sustained high-RPM operation. The pickup tube's length (14.25 inches) and geometry are optimized to reach the deepest oil reserves while staying clear of rotating crankshaft and connecting rod assemblies. CANTON's manufacturing standards ensure tight tolerances and precise bore sizing, critical factors that directly impact pump inlet pressure and engine reliability on the dyno or track.

This pickup tube is ideal for Cleveland engine builders, street rod fabricators, and racers upgrading to deeper pan systems for improved oiling consistency during acceleration, braking, and cornering. Installation requires basic mechanical skill and a clean workspace to prevent debris contamination. Verify pan depth and pickup clearance before ordering—10-inch pans are standard, but some vintage or custom pans may vary. This is a bolt-on replacement that delivers measurable peace of mind for any serious Cleveland build.
