SBM Centered Oil Pump Pickup 9in Rear Sump

The SBM Centered Oil Pump Pickup 9in Rear Sump from KEVKO Oil Pans & Components is a precision-engineered bolt-on assembly designed for small-block Mopar engine platforms requiring deep-pan oil management. This oil pump pickup serves as the critical interface between your engine's sump and lubrication system, ensuring consistent oil delivery under demanding conditions—essential for both street and high-performance applications where oil starvation can cause catastrophic engine failure. Built for engines that demand reliable, gravity-fed oil supply, this centered pickup design maintains optimal flow characteristics regardless of cornering or acceleration forces.

The 9-inch deep-pan configuration provides superior oil capacity and cooling surface area while the centered positioning minimizes vortex formation during hard acceleration and deceleration. This design directly counters the oil slosh and starvation issues common in deep-sump installations, where standard pickups lose prime during dynamic driving. The bolt-on installation means no welding or fabrication required—straightforward fitment to existing Mopar engine blocks. KEVKO's engineering focuses on eliminating air entrainment and maintaining pickup tube submersion, critical factors that define oil system reliability in both street and race environments.

This pickup assembly benefits small-block Mopar builders—from restoration enthusiasts to performance shops—who are installing deeper pans for increased oil reserve and thermal management. Compatibility is straightforward: designed specifically for small-block Mopar platforms running 9-inch rear-sump pan configurations. At 1.5 lbs and compact 5 x 4 x 5-inch dimensions, the assembly integrates seamlessly without clearance complications. Installation involves basic bolt fastening to the block; refer to your engine block's pickup boss specifications and pan gasket interface for proper alignment. This component is essential for any Mopar buildup prioritizing oil system reliability.
