340 Oil filter adapter

I'm wondering this same thing, as I will be using the 340 hi-po manifolds too. I never realized that the 90 degree filter adaptor came from the factory on these 340 motors. But, looking at these pictures, I can't see how you'd change oil without the adaptor.


Ok...So Mine has (Will Have) the same exhaust Manifold as Pictured above....Will the oil filter clear the Exhaust Manifold without issues??
Don't know IF I must get an an adapter,use a shorty,Or id a standard filter will still work.
From this angle,It loos like it will be fime as is,But not sure about Heat Issues?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,Eric
