In redoing the front of my car over the off season, I now need to add a remote oil filter. Won't be able to remove the filter with the mid-plate, headers and oil pan combo on the car now.

What have you used with success and what should I stay away from? Should I use -10 or -12 lines? Haven't decided on a location to mount the remote filter yet.

Was looking at a system one kit but it's over $600 without any plumbing.

Why? Photos.

Will a much smaller filter like the K&P that I run work?

Before swapping to the K&P filer, I had to modify the mid plate and remove the #1 header tube to change my filter.

I have a System 1 remote adapter with the lines and System 1 inline filter for a Chevy. It's all -12. I can't use it with the New Century block I'm now running.

PM me for more info.....

I have one of these in red brand new I can make you a deal on.

2" header under the filter and oil pan kicked out leaves no room from underneath and the frame is to the outside. GOt a nice cubby hole for the filter. Used to get it reaching between the trans and over the header from behind but the mid-plate is there now.

Can't even run a reuseable filter so I'm stuck with a Wix racing shorty. I hate cutting them open to inspect them.

Was mocking it up last night and the header is really close to the oil pan so might not be able to get a diaper on it. If I do, I will have to wrap the header and/or get one that is heat resistant.

I need new headers, these are ridiculous. Why I have 2" headers on a SBC is beyond me. Way more trouble than they are worth.

NAPA stocks a new extra short filter, Gold series 97xx for late model GM truck of some sort?


Sounds like you need new headers.....
