I put a 340 in a 64 dart. I did it 45yrs ago, and still have it. I used the 90 degree adapter and run the full size filter (wix 51515), but I do have headers. It took a little doing to get the clocking right, but it's doable.
That is true. But the ones i mentioned in post #6 are quite a bit shorter and smaller yet.
Same here I run the 090 on my daily driver truck my wife Durango and had it on the duster since day one and Lord knows the torture I put that through. I did buy a wicks filter because I couldn't get a 090 and ended up not using it because it was a little bigger and wouldn't fit and then when I got another 090 I compared the two and was much more impressed with the more significantly larger holes and more of them on the 090. Seems like more flow..
Ma Mopar uses them from the factory and has to back the extended 100K mile warranty..... works for me.
You wonder at what point does all that media get in the way? At what point would you rather a little bit of dirty oil getting through as opposed to no oil?..
I tried a remote oil filter once, back in 2002 on a new motor. At exactly 13 minutes into the cam break in there was a HUGE fireball under my hood, I dove head first into my car to turn off the key while my friend grabbed the hose and started spraying water (not knowing it was an oil fire....ooops).....Anyway, long story short, one of the oil lines that cam with the kit (not steel braid) failed. It looked like radiant heat from the headers may have caused the failure, as the hole in the line was at the closest point to the headers (about 6 inches away)....that hole sprayed hot oil onto the headers creating a big ole fire ball.....Once everything cooled, and I found the issue, I proceeded to remove that oil filter relocation kit with extreme prejudice....kicked it around on the ground....threw it down the street....Never again for me, I put my old 90° adapter back on and that is what I have used ever since.
