Kevko approved oil pans

Lyn Smith · 02-01-2025, 10:58 AM

Anyone tried any of the Kevko Company oil pans that are now approved for Stock. Pretty fancy looking. The one approved for the common Chevrolet sbc engines is reasonable but the one for the 64-67 Novas is over $400. It is not your typical notched out pan for that combination.

Yes, I've used a couple of the Kevco NHRA Stock approved oil pans, those and the pick ups were well constructed and fit well.

WE use them on our stock small block Mopars.

They are a nice piece for the price.

However, they continue to send them in a box with
NO packing material period whatsoever. They are just
flopping around in the box. I have had to return them before
because they were damaged to the degree that I did
not want to try and straighten the pan rail.

They did exchange the pans. I asked why no packing
and they just said it was more trouble than exchanging
some pans.

It sure seemed a little bit on the Crazy side to me!

BTW: My understanding is they are made in Minnesota which

they are NOT despite their claim. you buy chinese junk and expect it to be shipped as an American made product would be from an American manufacturer.

I have a Kevko pan on my SS car and it?s a really nice piece.

I needed some extra work done to it and they knocked it out of the park. The price was fair, craftsmanship was very good and spot on accurate to my chicken scratch drawings. A+++

Just bought one for a 383 that I built for my 67 chevy11 street car. wanted to get away from the front sump pan. Just got in the car went in perfectly with no problems with the steering. Really nice pan. designed to use Melling pumps and pickups. has a crank scraper and windage tray. HP wise you would need to do a back to back but I would venture a guess that it will pickup. Made in Minn Great Guys to work with.

I work for a distributor of Kevko pans, and have been to their facility in southern Minnesota. The top rail cores they use are stamped at a facility in Milwaukee, Wi. Last time I check neither Wisconsin or Minnesota are in China.

I checked on the Milodon and Moroso pans that are NHRA accepted for my stocker, and surprise! they are both made in China.
It's my understanding that the import parts are required to have a ROC (Republic of China) diamond sticker on them. I have Moroso
products on my shelf that have the Made in America sticker on them. I also have other Moroso products that have the ROC sticker
on them, and nowhere on the packaging does it say they are made in the US.
