73 318 Scamp Oil Filter issue

[Ringo1]

Hey guys
I went to do an oil change after changing my exhaust manifolds and exhaust and my oil filter is too big to be removed or replaced. Are there any smaller than normal oil filters out there I can use on this car?

They make a shorter filter, with the same size base, I use K&N HP2004

IIRC, the standard Magnum filters are 1/2" shorter than the LA filters.
