Deep Sump Oil Pan
A good oil system
relies on an adequate
supply of oil. In race
applications prolonged
high RPM and looser oil
clearances can quickly
distribute all the oil
through out the engine
resulting in oil starvation
when working with a
stock pan. TAs oil pan
capacity ranges from 7 to
9 quarts depending on
needs. This will insure a
constant supply to the
pickup tube and will
a l s o s t a b i l i z e o i l
temperatures. The sump
area incorporates two
horizontal baffles and a
gated vertical baffle. This
design keeps as much oil
as possible around the
p i c k u p d u r i n g a l l
conditions. The gated
baffle opens from the
momentum created by
heavy acceleration,
while the rear baffle
prevents the oil from
running up the back of
t h e b l o c k . O n
deceleration (or when
the front end comes back
down) the gated baffle closes and along with the forward baffle greatly reduces the amount of oil that would normally rush
towards the front of the engine. This pan is a fully fabricated steel piece made with exceptional quality and welding and cad
plated for good looks and corrosion resistance. Pick up tube included.
Please note that some fitting may be necessary on certain combinations, please ask a TA Tech for more information.
Does not fit cars originally equipped with center sump pans such as `67-`70 Riviera and other early Big Block fullsize cars.
