X2 for RockAuto on prices. I use Wix 51061 that filters to 20 micron. The R model filters to 61 micron.

Usually rock auto has the best price but my last order of filters came from amazon prime. I think the price was the same, came the next day and I didn’t have to remember my rock auto login.

Rock auto definitely best price on ngk spark plugs.

If you have sufficient space a Wix 1794R will get you the 1.5 quart filter. They are approximately 8" tall.

Wix oil filters start with a 5 so that should be 51794R

Napa drops the first number 1794R and they are Wix filters.

Wix first number system.....
5 = oil 4 = air 3 = fuel

Correct, Rich. Does Napa actually sell a "racing" version of their house-branded Wix filters? I have used the 1794, never asked for a 1794R.
And good advice, Larry. I normally use the huge 1.5 Qt Wix 51794R on my BBC's. Might be closer to 10" tall, (I had to use a rubber mallet and make a slight recess in the kickout on my 7 Qt Milodon pan to get that filter in & out). Requires a strap type filter wrench.
With lighter weight synthetic racing oils and hot weather, I have been experimenting this summer, using the straight 51794 or the Napa Gold 1794 (both are the non-racing versions). Like Mark pointed out above, you get finer filtration than the "R" version. But with a smaller 51061 I would probably be concerned about flow restriction of the tighter filter media at high RPM, especially with a heavy (20/50) oil. No worries about oil flow with the big dog 1794/51794 filters. I will be looking closely at the bearings during the off season freshen up. If all looks good I will stay with the big non-racing version. They are all extremely well built, in the USA.
