oil filters
Hi all,
I just put the engine in again and went to fit oil filter !!!!! don't fit, to big ,tried a smaller one still to big, so can anyone help. I need a filter to fit the 5lt 3/4bsp thread I think but needs to be no longer than 70mm the ones I have tried are z9, z170 I hope someone can help or I will have to cutup the chassis again to find room.

Use a remote filter setup. Bob |
Remote oil filter
Go to Amsoil.com
Here's the link to bypass filter installation with photos. http://www.amsoil.com/products/bf.html You can get a bypass filter combined with a full-flow filter and the hardware to install it from them. There are lots of opinions about what oil to use, so I won't go into that but the Amsoil filters are high quality, as is the remote setup they sell. Paul |
Hi Chris
Ryco make a filter Z89A which might fit.I think the remote is the way to go. |
Thanks guys,
I had thought about a remote filter but was hoping for a easy fix but doesn't look like there is one so I will have set up a remote, more time!!!!! Chris.:mad: |

Hey Chris....Wait till pete (PCC) answers ya...he's got one of them DRB 2000 thingys. ;)
He'll give ya an idea wots on his. :cool: Cheers |
Z9 and it fits with room to spare.
My engine is an NC Fairlane so may be different to your's Chris Sorry:( |
Thanks again,
Pete my engine is out of a xr8 but I have have the new chassis which was made to suit the boss engine there is a chassis support in the way. Thanks Les for passing the thread on. Thanks Jason just like a real King. Remote is underway. Chris. |
Easy out
I think its far easier to get at with remotes
%/ Chris the remote is the way to go, I think as it allows you the option of running a traditional setup for oil coolers at the front. I used the remote myself and will update the oil lines to the braided that I have had stored. Cheers Bernie |
The standard filter for some 302's is the FL-1 but it's too long for my Aurora Cobra. Used NAPA 1068.

Myself and AC514 have a ford motorsport filter adapter which turns the filter 90 degrees to the eng block, we also had the same problem as yourself . Im sure Gino purchased it from ford racing performance parts distributor,RACEPARTS AUSTRALIA in queensland ph 07 3807 6870. If it doesn,t rain i will bring the car to the mercat thursday It fits as easily as an oil filter. |
