Part # for the short oil filter and questions.

[Cope]

I want to pull the 90 adapter off my LA 360 what's the #for the short filter?

Also can I just unscrew the part the filter threads on to out of the 90, add the plate and screw the threads into the block?

What is required to go from the 90 to no 90?

 

[sireland67]

Just take the 90 out, put the plate, gasket and fitting on.
The old Fram number is PH43 for the short filter, just cross-reference to your favorite brand of filter.

I found the plate and fastener on Amazon. And in the past I have used this one.

Dose the plate use the same gasket as the 90?

I yes. I use silicon myself and I haven't had any problems.

As I was saying before my post crashed.

I drill the holes in that plate to the next size bigger. Then I put a hole in between each one of the original holes.
This is so I have a greater volume of oil going and coming out of the filter.

WARNING. The Magnum filter plate is NOT the same as the LA plate. Magnum- 6 hole. LA- 4 hole. Sits different against the pad on the block.

MO-090 Mopar filter is the shorter one. Keep the 90° adapter and use the short filter.

The 90 leaks oil and it makes it hard to R and R the filter. With no inner fenders right out the block would be easy.

What plate would you use on a LA?

That’s my bad. I bought a billet one from Amazon.

Mancini racing will have the correct plate for an LA engine.
