SBF 351W Windage Tray

The SBF 351W Windage Tray is an essential internal engine component designed for small block Ford 351W applications, particularly in rear sump configurations. This zinc-plated steel windage tray serves as a critical barrier between the crankshaft and oil pan, reducing parasitic drag and stabilizing oil flow during high-RPM operation. Whether you're building a street performance engine or restoring a classic Ford, this windage tray prevents oil aeration and maintains consistent lubrication efficiency under demanding conditions.

Manufactured from durable steel with a zinc coating for corrosion resistance, the SBF 351W Windage Tray features a screen design that allows controlled oil return while blocking splashing and churning around the crankshaft. The tray's engineering minimizes oil turbulence in the pan sump, which reduces engine drag by improving volumetric efficiency and allowing the oil pump to work more effectively. The zinc plating provides longevity in various engine environments, resisting rust and degradation even in vintage restorations or long-term storage scenarios. Compact dimensions (7.9 x 2.9 x 16.15 inches) ensure proper fitment within the pan cavity without interference with crankshaft or connecting rod clearance.

This windage tray is ideal for 351W small block Ford engines equipped with rear sump oil pans, making it essential for hot rodders, engine builders, and restoration enthusiasts seeking optimal internal engine efficiency. Installation requires pan removal and positioning the tray above the sump area, where it interfaces directly with the engine block casting bosses. Mechanics and DIY builders benefit from the straightforward mounting design, which integrates seamlessly into both stock and modified engine builds. For anyone serious about maximizing fuel economy, reducing parasitic losses, and extending oil change intervals through improved cooling, this component delivers measurable real-world benefits.
