Oil Filter Placement on FIA
I'd prefer to keep my oil filter on the side of a 302 block as stock. However, I understand that if I do this it requires a short FRAM filter. Couple of questions:
Is this true? Are there alternatives other than a remote oil filter setup? Such as an offset fitting that points the cooler down rather than straight out. I really don't want to use the FRAM. If there are other manufacturers that will fit, please let me know that as well. Thanks, Doug |
The Fram number is there because I've got a big Fram book with all the filter specs. Most places can cross-reference the number to their own brand.
I vaguely remember there was a Bronco block adapter that turned the filter 90 deg. toward the front, but I've never seen one on an ERA. |
Doug, A WIX 51311 or a NAPA 1311 (both made by WIX) will fit nicely. Enjoy your car, they are great fun.

If you are not using a mechanical fuel pump Ford Racing offers an adapter that will turn the filter 90 degrees and lay it up next to the block & timing cover.
