Moroso 20176 SBC Pre-85 Drivers Side Dipstick 9.5in 6.5Qt Oil Pan for Chevy S10

Vehicle Fitment

• Chevrolet S10 chassis - engine swap application (small-block Chevy V8 installed into S10 pickup)
• Engine requirement: Small-block Chevy (SBC), pre-1985 block casting with driver's side dipstick provision

Fitment Notes

• Not a factory-original S10 configuration - designed specifically for SBC engine swaps into the S10 chassis
• Requires a pre-1985 SBC block with driver's side dipstick boss; not compatible with 1986-and-later one-piece rear main seal blocks or passenger-side dipstick blocks
• Specific S10 model-year compatibility depends on chassis clearance for the swap and was not confirmed across independent sources - verify clearance against your chassis before purchase

Features

• Purpose-built steel construction for durability in a swap application
• Wet sump design retains the OE-style oiling system layout
• 9.5 in. deep sump increases oil capacity and control over a stock-depth pan
• Driver's side dipstick provision matches pre-1985 SBC block casting
• Engineered specifically for S10 chassis clearance during an SBC swap
• 6.5-quart capacity supports improved oil control under hard driving

Specifications

• Sump depth: 9.5 in.
• Capacity: 6.5 quarts
• Sump style: Wet sump
• Material: Steel
• Dipstick location: Driver's side

Product Description

The Moroso 20176 is a steel wet-sump oil pan purpose-built for small-block Chevy engine swaps into a Chevrolet S10 chassis. Rather than a factory replacement part, it's engineered to solve the specific clearance and oiling challenges that come up when dropping an SBC into an S10 - a common swap in the drag racing and street performance community.

It's built for pre-1985 SBC blocks that use a driver's side dipstick provision, so block generation matters more than model year when confirming fit. The 9.5-inch deep sump and 6.5-quart capacity give the engine more oil volume and better control under hard acceleration and cornering than a stock-depth pan would provide, while the wet sump design keeps the swap straightforward without requiring an external oil tank or additional plumbing.

This pan is best suited for engine swappers and racers building an SBC-powered S10 who need a pan engineered around the swap's specific geometry rather than a generic universal fit. Because chassis clearance can vary with suspension and crossmember modifications, it's worth double-checking fitment against your specific S10 build before installing.
