Shown here is our new stock replacement type curved type oil pickup. Uses 3/8" NPT engine block thread size. Use these with most factory style passenger car oil pans that have internal baffles welded in them, as the curve in the tube is engineered to allow the pickup to avoid hitting the baffle. Once installed, these measure about 4 1/2" from the pan rail to the bottom of the pickup. The distance from the rear of the pickup to the rear of the engine block (also once installed) is about 10 3/8". These "factory type" pickups can be run directly touching the bottom of the oil pan, however we have also run them with 1/4-3/8 of clearance between the pan and pickup without any problems. Depending on the specific combination of oil pan, gasket(s) (and windage tray, if applicable) you are using, some modifications to this pickup, such as slightly bending the tube to set proper pan to pickup clearance, may sometimes be necessary. This pickup tube fits factory Chrysler "971" and "402" pans, among other applications.
