[Tigers] Oil Pressure Part II

[Sandy Ganz]

This is what I did to keep the same location but with a more modern synthetic
filter from Canton-Mecca. I made the bracket that bolts to the front of head
(the flat one) and the bracket around the filter is from Canton-Mecca. The
line 
to the top of the filter will also work with a 180deg hose end to have a
similar 
style to the top of the housing. The pics tell the story.

These are
with -10 lines as I recall.

For the block adapter I used one from here, it's thiner then the Canton
external 
adapter one which I would use but might be too thick (you can get
-12 lines on 
the canton).

Ron and Eric,

I
found a great alternative that is actually built by Ford MotorSport.  
It was
published on the TigersUnited.com site:
http://www.tigersunited.com/resources/Dealer_Accessories/mp-FilterAdapter2.as
p  
  

as co-edit by yours truly, Jim Boynton, and Mark L. (CoolVT)

The Ford
MotorSport Filter is a very good one.  I would, as the article 
states,

This
Ford MotorSport aluminum SVO right angle filter adapter, 
M-6880-A50, is shown
with the FRAM PH3600 in place. The Fram is smaller 
in diameter than the FL1A,
which does fit as well. The design is 
different than the truck model, and has
a large sealing surface on the 
mounting nut, which is not removed for filter
changing. I bought it at a 
local Parts store for $50.  Well, make that $100,
as the first one 
bounced out of the trunk and I had to get another.

While
this may be difficult to obtain now, it is worth it.  Notice that 
the edge
car motor mount (on the left side of the car), was slightly 
rounded to
prevent contact.

There is a Ford Truck mount, which may be available, but
isn't as nice.
