Building a powerful big-block Chevy for drag racing means paying serious attention to the oiling system, whether you opt for a sophisticated dry sump or prefer a traditional wet sump setup. Moroso recently demonstrated its continued support for big-block racers by releasing two distinct new oiling components catering to both approaches.

Moroso understands the unique demands drag racing places on big-block engines and now offers dedicated solutions to improve oil control and reliability under hard launches and high-RPM passes. These new parts address critical areas for engine builders pushing the limits.

For racers utilizing dry sump systems on a Mark-IV big-block Chevy, Moroso has introduced a new, fully fabricated aluminum oil pan. Priced at $1,435.99, this pan caters specifically to drag-racing applications like Competition Eliminator, Top Dragster/Sportsman, and Super classes.

Its 7.5-inch depth allows clearance for engine diapers, while features like billet end seals ensure superior sealing. Moroso also incorporated a double kick-out design and a removable windage screen to maximize oil control.

Four -12AN billet aluminum pickups handle scavenging duties. The pan clears up to a 5.00-inch stroke with most aluminum rods and fits engines using reverse-mount or driver-side starters (a separate part number exists for passenger-side starter needs).

Recognizing that many racers prefer high-performance wet sump systems, Moroso also launched a convenient new oil pump and pickup package. This setup pairs a high-volume oil pump equipped with a high-pressure relief spring directly with a Moroso pickup.

Moroso welds the pickup to the pump body before shipping, creating a simple bolt-on solution. The company specifically designed the pickup’s orientation to ensure proper clearance from the floor of their popular eight-inch deep big-block Chevy wet sump pans, eliminating guesswork during installation.

These latest product releases provide big-block drag racers with huge upgrades for managing their engine’s lifeblood.

Properly controlling oil flow and maintaining consistent pressure — whether through a dedicated dry sump pan like Moroso’s new aluminum unit or via an optimized high-volume wet sump pump and pickup package — directly impacts engine longevity and performance reliability, run after run.

Making sure that you choose components designed for these demanding conditions helps your big-block Chevy investment stay protected all the time, even after heavy use.
