Oil Pump Pick-Up - Ford 351C/351M/400

The MOROSO Oil Pump Pick-Up for Ford 351C/351M/400 engines is a specialized screw-in pickup tube designed for drag race and high-performance applications. This component is engineered to maintain consistent oil delivery to the pump under extreme acceleration and lateral forces, where standard pickups can lose prime. The 9-inch deep-pan configuration accommodates deep-sump reservoir setups common in competition drag racing and Pro Street builds.

Constructed to OEM-compatible specifications, the pickup features a screw-in threaded design that secures into the pump block without welding, simplifying installation and future service. The 9-inch depth ensures the tube extends sufficiently into deep-pan sumps to draw oil continuously during hard cornering, rapid shifts, and sustained acceleration where oil slosh would compromise lubrication in shallower configurations. This depth rating is critical for bracket racing and heads-up competition where momentary oil starvation can cause catastrophic engine failure.

Drag racers and modified street enthusiasts running Cleveland or 351M blocks in competition vehicles rely on this pickup to prevent oil pressure loss during launch and sustained boost applications. The screw-in attachment method also provides flexibility for tuning oil capacity without permanent modifications to the pump housing, a practical advantage when transitioning between race trim and street duty or optimizing sump depth for different track conditions.

MOROSO has supplied performance oil system components to the drag racing and oval-track communities for decades. This pickup tube carries the engineering standard expected in motorsports applications where lubrication reliability directly determines race outcome and engine survival.
