SBF 302 Windage Screen Tray

The CANTON SBF 302 Windage Screen Tray is a precision-engineered oil management component designed for Small Block Ford engines running front-sump configurations. This steel windage tray serves a critical role in high-performance and street applications where engine longevity and consistent lubrication are non-negotiable. By controlling oil splash and aeration within the pan, the windage screen tray minimizes bearing wear, reduces drag losses, and maintains stable oil pressure under demanding operating conditions.

Manufactured from durable steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, the SBF 302 Windage Screen Tray features a perforated screen design that separates turbulent oil splash from the main pan volume. This dual-chamber architecture allows the engine's oil pump to draw clean, settled oil rather than aerated foam, which would compromise film strength at critical bearing surfaces. The zinc coating protects against rust and oxidation, ensuring reliable performance across seasonal storage and varied operating environments. Measuring 16.05 inches in length with a compact 8.1 x 2.75-inch profile, the tray integrates seamlessly into OEM and aftermarket Small Block Ford pan assemblies without requiring modifications.

Enthusiasts, rebuilders, and professional mechanics rely on the SBF 302 Windage Screen Tray for naturally aspirated and forced-induction Small Block Ford builds, from street cruisers to competition engines. Installation is straightforward—the tray mounts inside the pan and secures via the existing oil pan fastener pattern, requiring no drilling or fabrication. Whether you're restoring a classic 302 Windsor or upgrading a modern EFI platform, this component pays dividends in engine reliability by protecting against oil starvation and cavitation. Weighing just 2.52 lbs, it adds negligible mass while delivering measurable benefits in bearing protection and oil delivery stability.
