BMS Head Plate Cradle with Integrated Oil Pan Protector | Brian’s Machine Shop SBC Engine Cradle

Protect your engine with one of the strongest Small Block Chevy (SBC) engine cradles available. The BMS Head Plate Cradle with Integrated Oil Pan Protector from Brian’s Machine Shop is engineered for demolition derby competition, delivering exceptional engine protection, chassis strength, and future upgrade flexibility. Built from heavy-duty steel and precision welded in the USA, this cradle is designed for builders who want premium protection today with the ability to expand their setup later.

Unlike a standard head plate cradle, this version features an integrated oil pan protector and heavy-duty side bars, giving your engine critical protection in the most vulnerable areas while creating the foundation for a complete engine protection system. As your build evolves, this cradle can be upgraded into a 100% Full Engine Cradle by adding compatible BMS components instead of replacing your existing cradle.

Whether you’re building a fresh car or upgrading your current setup, the BMS Head Plate Cradle with Integrated Oil Pan Protector offers the durability and versatility demanded by serious derby competitors.

Features

• Heavy-duty 1/2″ A36 steel engine cradle
• Massive 3/4″ lower side bars for maximum strength
• Integrated oil pan protector helps protect your engine from front and underside impacts
• Precision welded for superior durability
• Designed to withstand high-horsepower demolition derby applications
• Proudly Made in the USA

Expand Your Protection

One of the biggest advantages of this cradle is its ability to grow with your build.

This cradle is fully compatible with:

• BMS Mid Plate
• BMS Distributor Protector
• BMS Halo
• BMS DP-Halo Bars

Because it already includes the integrated oil pan protector and side bars, this system can be upgraded into a complete 100% Full Engine Cradle as your budget or build progresses. That means you can start with excellent protection today and add additional components later without replacing your original cradle.

Compared to a standard head plate cradle, this model provides:

• Increased engine protection
• Integrated lower engine and oil pan protection
• Heavy-duty side bar construction
• Greater chassis rigidity
