SBC Screen Windage Tray

The CANTON SBC Screen Windage Tray is a full-length steel component designed specifically for small block Chevy engines configured with rear sump oil pans. This windage tray mounts beneath the crankshaft and reduces oil aeration and turbulence caused by rotating crankshaft webs, resulting in improved oil return to the sump and more consistent engine lubrication under high-RPM or sustained load conditions. The zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance while maintaining durability in typical engine bay environments.

The screen-type design allows controlled airflow while preventing large oil droplets from circulating back through the pan. At 19.7 inches in length with 7.2 x 2.7-inch cross dimensions, this windage tray spans the full crankshaft length on small block Chevy engines. The tray installs with standard fasteners and is engineered to clearance all OEM and most common aftermarket crankshaft and rod configurations. Zinc plating enhances corrosion resistance compared to bare steel alternatives, extending component life in engines subject to moisture exposure or extended storage.

Small block Chevy builders—whether restoring classics, building street engines, or preparing track motors—install windage trays to maximize lubrication efficiency and reduce parasitic drag from oil splashing. This component is essential for high-RPM applications, boosted engines, or any build where oil return reliability becomes a limiting factor. The full-length screen design offers an effective balance between efficiency gains and cost compared to complete baffled sump systems.

CANTON has long been recognized for producing OEM-quality engine components and performance upgrades for domestic and imported platforms. This windage tray carries the brand's commitment to precision manufacturing and fitment reliability. Each unit is sold individually, allowing builders to source the exact component their engine configuration requires.
