Oil Pump Pick-Up - SBC / BBC Extreme Duty

The Oil Pump Pick-Up - SBC / BBC Extreme Duty is a high-performance oil delivery component engineered for serious small-block and big-block Chevy V8 applications. This pickup tube assembly is designed for builders and mechanics who demand reliable oil circulation under extreme engine conditions, including high-RPM operation, hard acceleration, and sustained performance driving. Whether you're building a street engine, road course competitor, or dedicated race platform, this extreme-duty pickup addresses the critical need for consistent oil flow to the pump, preventing starvation and ensuring proper lubrication throughout the entire engine.

This pickup is engineered for 8-1/4 inch deep-pan applications and is compatible with big-block Chevy oil pumps, making it ideal for custom pan configurations where standard pickups fall short. The extreme-duty construction utilizes robust materials and design geometry to minimize turbulence and cavitation at the inlet, maintaining consistent pressure delivery across varying load conditions. The press or bolt-on mounting options provide installation flexibility, allowing integration into both OEM-style and custom oil pan assemblies. At 0.66 lbs and compact overall dimensions (5.9 x 2.8 x 9.8 inches), this pickup balances structural durability with minimal clearance intrusion into the pan cavity.

Mechanics and engine builders trust extreme-duty pickups when upgrading oil pan depth or transitioning to non-stock pan designs on Chevy V8 platforms. This component is essential for any build using deep-sump pans to maintain correct inlet depth and prevent oil pickup starvation during cornering, acceleration, or deceleration. Installation requires careful alignment with the oil pump inlet and verification of clearance within your specific pan configuration; professional installation is recommended to ensure proper seating and leak-free operation. This pickup is sold individually, so confirm compatibility with your oil pump design and pan dimensions before ordering.
