SBC 8qt CT Oil Pan - RH Dipstick 80-85

The MOROSO SBC 8qt CT Oil Pan with RH Dipstick for 1980–1985 Small Block Chevy engines is purpose-built for high-performance oval track racing and street applications where engine oil capacity and sump design directly impact reliability under sustained load. This 8-quart capacity pan addresses the cooling and circulation demands of modified engines running in competitive environments, where standard factory pans fall short during sustained cornering, braking, and acceleration cycles.

Engineered with trap door baffles and a rear sump configuration, the SBC 8qt CT Oil Pan maintains consistent oil delivery to the pump inlet during aggressive driving by preventing aeration and surge starvation—critical during hard launches and sustained lateral g-forces. The pan measures 16 × 9 × 24 inches with a 6.5-inch sump depth and features a two-piece sealed construction for leak-free performance. A steel construction with black powder coat finish ensures durability against thermal cycling and corrosion, while the integral inspection bung allows for straightforward oil level checks without pan removal. The right-hand dipstick configuration accommodates common Small Block Chevy engine bay layouts from the 1980–1985 model years.

This oil pan is ideal for bracket racers, circle track competitors, and street enthusiasts rebuilding or upgrading early Small Block Chevy powerplants who require greater oil volume and superior baffling than factory equipment. Installation is straightforward on 1980–1985 Small Block Chevy applications; verify dipstick clearance and pan height against your specific engine bay configuration before ordering. The 22.63-pound weight is manageable for single-technician installation during engine assembly or replacement, and the two-piece seal design simplifies future service and maintenance cycles.
