[WANTED] 90 Degree oil filter adapter for 5.9 Magnum

[abuchakl]

Looking for a 90 degree oil filter adapter for a 5.9 Magum.

It is going in an early A-body with TTI headers.

I appreciate the help and I'm located in SE Wisconsin if anyone has anything in the area.

Does a 340 90 degree interchange? If so I have one in Michigan. Shipping would be cheap.

I'm not trying to fill up your want ad with unnecessary posts, but I think you're going to run into issues trying to run a 90* adapter on a Magnum. The 90* adapter was designed for the LA series, and the Magnums have slightly different machining in the filter area- the heights of the two sealing/gasketed areas are not the same between the two engine families. Even the flat filter plates are different between the two. Using the 90 on a Magnum can result in leakage onto your headers or worse. There may be a workaround that I'm not aware of...
If header clearance is your primary concern, then consider using a shorter oil filter- usually a Wix 51085 will clear the headers, but in extreme cases you may need to go to a Wix 51335- the darn thing looks like a hockey puck, but usually fits where nothing else will.

I usually like to run as big of a filter as I can, but sometimes you have to make concessions and just change the filter more often.

I appreciate the info. I did consider a smaller filter but on the early A TTI headers I don't think I even have 2" of clearance.

I'm actually not sure if the 340 version would fit but what would you want for it, do you have the bolt, and could you possibly send a pic. Thanks

I've been running an iron LA 90* on my 5.9 Magnum with no issues.
The straight ones are LA or Magnum specific.
