Factory oil pans on the Ford 289/302 small block leave little margin for high-performance use: shallow sumps, minimal baffling, and sealing surfaces that were designed for assembly-line speed rather than longevity. The Moroso Power Pouch oil pan solves all three problems with a fully fabricated steel construction, a 9-inch deep rear sump, and billet aluminum end seals that hold a consistent crush across the full gasket surface.
Rear sump kick-out design with genuine oil control. The power kick-out pocket keeps oil available at the pickup under hard acceleration and cornering, while the internal anti-slosh baffle prevents the oil mass from surging away from the pickup during direction changes. Together they maintain consistent oil pressure in conditions where a stock pan would starve the engine.
Clearance built into the design. The 9-inch depth clears a 3.40-inch stroke with most steel connecting rods, and the pan clears all 4-bolt main caps including both front and rear positions. That coverage makes it compatible with a wide range of 302 short-block configurations without requiring custom fitment work.
Fabricated steel with Moroso powder coat. The pan body is fully fabricated steel finished in black powder coat through Moroso's in-house powder coating process. Billet end seals replace the factory rubber or cork pieces and provide a flat, repeatable sealing surface that reduces the chance of leaks after initial installation.
