Big-block Ford swaps and restorations demand an oil pan that handles the demands of a 429 or 460 without compromise. Moroso's steel wet-sump pan delivers 8-quart capacity in a 9-inch deep rear-sump configuration, giving high-displacement builds the oil volume and control they need while fitting a wide range of classic Ford applications from 1979 forward.
Clearance for serious strokes. The pan clears a 4.50-inch stroke with most steel connecting rods, making it a practical choice for mildly built engines and more aggressive stroker combinations alike. No clearancing or modifications required for standard rod configurations.
Front and rear anti-climb baffling. Hard cornering and braking shift oil away from the pickup under stock pans. Moroso adds front and rear anti-climb baffles that keep oil in contact with the pickup during aggressive driving, reducing the risk of oil starvation when it matters most.
Durable black powder coat finish. The pan ships finished in Moroso's own black powder coat, applied in-house for consistent adhesion and corrosion resistance. The steel construction handles the thermal cycles and underhood heat that aluminum alternatives can struggle with in extended high-load use.
Practical provisions for everyday use. A 1/4-inch N.P.T. dipstick provision keeps oil level checks straightforward, and the rear-sump layout fits a broad range of Ford chassis and crossmember configurations without major modifications.
