oil filters

I run a Hasting filter on my 340's, and a low profile Filter (for some kind of Ford, currently an STP filter crossed over to the number I needed) on my D50. That Ford filter on my D50 is so small, it's half the diameter of a regular SBM Oil Filter (just big enough to seal to the plate on the Block), I believe it was for a Furd Straight 6 of some kind?

The reason for the Small Filter on the D50, is clearance, the filter actually sits inside the frame on my truck with the Small Block Conversion (and the engine is tilted to the right to help the filter sit inside the frame). No room for a 90* Adapter or any filter listed for a SBM.


Fram? I wouldn't run a Fram filter, even if it was the last filter on earth. I've seen more than a few of them explode (had one explode on a freshly rebuilt 2.6L that used to be in my D50, within 5 seconds of starting the engine), and the ones that didn't explode, fell apart inside.
