It need better exhaust all together. I was trying to avoid that for the time being.need the correct head pipe

Then you need to fix it. Looks like may be the filter was installed and the pipe bent and installed. It sounded like you were looking for suggestions on how to remove the filter after it hit the exhaust pipe. Just trying to help.Tring to avoid that every time I change the oil.

I have to drop my exhaust to get the oil filter off. I planning on doing a oil filter relocation kit until I stumbled across a 90 degree adapter. Does anyone have a picture of one installed? I would like to get an idea of how much clearance I would have.
I have been using the short/small filters for years on my street cars and race cars. Never had any problem with it being a "restriction". Big block and small block. I guess I have been doing things the wrong way for 40+ years. Do what you want, I was just trying to help.
I guess I better go out and change my filters right away! I've been running the small one on my big block race car for about 10 years now. Have one on my street car that I run the dog **** out of for about 15 year too. It hasn't been a problem yet so I think I'll stick with I know works. Carry on.Ever check the pressure drop across any filters? If you did, you'd use the biggest filter you can get.
Don't know where you come off with all that. But yea, I think I will keep using what I want. Just trying to help someone out.It's amazing how butt hurt some guys get over nothing. Use what you want. Just don't tell me how good it is.

Make sure the outer edge of the adapter is not catching on the block, so it won't seat flush on it's mount. I had to use a die grinder on mine. I also cleaned up the oil passages on the 90* adapter before installing it, and used the Superformance gaskets.
ps: You guys with expensive engines should be using Jomar 100% No Bypass oil filters. Why? Because they filter 100% of the oil 100% of the time.
All other oil filters bypass an awful lot of oil while the motor is running. That means a significant amount of your engine oil is effectively not filtered, and that's no bueno.

Reading that article, I’m not understanding the pressure drop...when using the Jomar filter, at an 8 lb pressure drop, is that 8 lbs less of total engine oil pressure?Make sure the outer edge of the adapter is not catching on the block, so it won't seat flush on it's mount.

I was looking at that jomar filter it doesn't give any dimensions but it looks like the long one ? do you know for sure ?

Yes, now that makes perfect sense. Thank you.Where the oil filter mounts, the block, behind the screw the filter screws onto and behind the plate are the in and out ports of the oil flows Katy in and out of the filter. That is where you would want to tap into.
To do this, you will need to remove the plate and set up external oil lines as if feeding a remote filter and install 2 gauges, 1 on each line, which will be before and after the filter. Of course.
Interesting article.... but it does not appear to be reality relative to how things actually operate. The test pump flow was 8.5 gpm into presumably a wide open return, and not into any sort of engine system where the flow gets restricted. The chance of any SBM accepting 8.5 gpm of flow is about 0.0000001% LOL. IIRC, the SBM HV pumps flow maybe 5 gpm at higher RPM's and in reality, the engine itself restricts the flow to a lower flow number. So the pressure drops reported in this article simply aren't applicable to how things really operate with these engines.All other oil filters bypass an awful lot of oil while the motor is running.

LOL! If a stock cardboard Fram can take an easy 6.5 K spinning for a while, then 99% of the rest should show a major improvement!
Yeah.. I raced forever on them! Much smaller engine and pump however... and that was a coupla decades ago.I don't use them now but my stock 340 with a freshened valve job at 100K went from 100k to 200k on Fram PH8A's !
