[Tigers] oil filter adaptor

[Tom Witt]

I'm just throwing this out there in case it is helpful to someone as it 
is different. As can be seen it is not used with headers but maybe 
someone just wants to get away from the overhead filter. This is from a 
Big Block Ford, I think I got it out of a Ford E350 van of 1980's era. 
That said it is listed for other Ford engines such as a Boss 429, 460. 
There is clearance between the crossmember, lower/inner A-arm and the 
engine mount though I did increase the crossmember clearance with a file 
(red arrow) and rounded the corner of the front/lower portion of the 
engine mount (blue arrow). The part number is E5TE-6884-BA. Looks like 
the going rate is $175 new though there was a used one on Ebay for a 
ridiculous $499 😮. Glad I got mine at Pick Your Part many years ago. It 
was somewhere between $3-$5. Looks like it would be $20 today..., if you 
can find one.
