SBC Oil Pan Sportsman 7qt RH Dipstick 86-Up

The KEVKO Oil Pans & Components SBC Oil Pan Sportsman 7qt Right-Hand Dipstick (model 1092NRH) is a purpose-built aluminum oil pan designed for small block Chevy engines in competition and high-performance applications. This rear-sump design delivers a critical advantage in road-racing and track-focused builds: the 7-quart capacity paired with a louvered aluminum windage tray minimizes oil aeration and maintains consistent lubrication under aggressive cornering and sustained lateral loading—conditions where factory pans struggle.

Constructed from zinc-plated steel with integrated aluminum windage tray technology, this pan reduces oil churning losses that rob horsepower and generate excess heat. The seven-inch depth accommodates deep-sump clearance without requiring a modified K-member, critical for fabricators working within tight packaging constraints. The one-piece sealed design eliminates leak points common to multi-piece gasket systems, and the passenger-side dipstick placement simplifies installation in road-race chassis where driver positioning and cable routing leave limited engine-bay real estate. At 17.15 pounds, the pan strikes a practical balance between structural rigidity and weight reduction.

This is the specification chosen by Sportsman-class racers, street-performance builders, and drift competitors running small block Chevy combinations. The rear-sump layout keeps weight bias toward the chassis centerline, aiding weight distribution in mid-engine-forward platforms. KEVKO's louvered design is proven in thousands of miles of road racing, circle-track, and high-G driving scenarios where oil control directly impacts engine longevity and consistent power delivery.

Fitment begins at 1986 and up; verify your block type and chassis clearance before ordering. Standard small block Chevy bolt patterns apply. This is a direct-fit replacement for many Sportsman-class packages, though custom fabrication may be required for non-OEM intake manifolds or headers. Installation requires removal of the original pan and cleaning of the gasket surface to specification.
