Oil filter adapter vs remote oil filter
So on my 66’ 273 Barracuda - I have Doug’s headers - please don’t tell him, he will want them back lol!
Anyhow I’m running the factory 90 degree adapter and full size filter and do not want to go smaller filter…but the changing of the oil filter is a PITA. Oil over the headers and the filter goes super tight and is a real tough to get off the adapter.
I want to change over to a remote filter and do it like old skool race car with silver braided lines and blue and red AN fittings.
My only issue is because my car came with the 90 adapter, most of the kits I see on line only come with a plate that bolts onto the oil filter mounting surface and stub. My car does not have that. I donot have any either in my piles of junk. I cannot seem to find a kit that bolts to the bare block.
Yes drill and tap the block would be awesome but with the headers (torsion bar thru the headers mind you. It’s a really tight fit.) I’m looking for an adapter that bolts in like a 90 degree adapter but is straight off the block.
Now the oil filter has to come up thru the engine bay. It will not clear the headers and come out thru the bottom.
Thanks in advance.
