SBC Oil Pump Pick-Up

The SBC Oil Pump Pick-Up from CANTON is purpose-built for small block Chevy engine builders, street performance enthusiasts, and high-output automotive builders who demand reliable oil delivery under extreme conditions. This pump pick-up tube assembly addresses a critical cooling and lubrication need: efficient oil sump collection from a deep pan configuration without cavitation or starvation during aggressive acceleration, cornering, or road racing. Whether you're upgrading a street/strip hybrid or a dedicated road race platform, the SBC Oil Pump Pick-Up ensures consistent oil flow to the pump intake during all operating scenarios.

Engineered for compatibility with 7.5-inch deep pans, this pick-up tube features a 3/4-inch inlet diameter and utilizes either press or bolt-on mounting methods, giving builders flexibility in installation approach. The extended tube geometry and pan depth rating minimize air ingestion during load transfer and ensure the pick-up inlet remains submerged under fuel slosh conditions typical in racing environments. CANTON's design philosophy prioritizes low-restriction flow paths and strategic intake positioning to reduce turbulence and maintain pump prime across a broad RPM band—critical for maintaining bearing film strength and preventing catastrophic engine wear.

This pick-up is essential for anyone upgrading from stock small block Chevy oil systems to higher-capacity deep pans, particularly in street/strip or road race applications where lateral g-forces and sustained high RPM operation stress marginal OEM designs. Lightweight at 0.55 lbs and compact in overall footprint (7.5 x 1.9 x 8.25 inches), the SBC Oil Pump Pick-Up integrates seamlessly into existing engine bay layouts. Verify pan compatibility and mounting surface condition before installation; proper fitment ensures optimal pump performance and engine protection throughout your vehicle's duty cycle.
