Oil filter 90 degree adapter Vs stock oil filter plate

Okay I won't use that 90*. And I'll probably buy a oil filter mounting plate with a rubber gasket on it.

So what are my options then? Short oil filter like already stated? Or can I just make some extra room for the filter by bringing out the ole hammer to beat on the headers a bit?

Damn I didn't think this was going to be a problem.

Back in the day, I worked at a 10 min oil change that used Fram filters. The Ford filter was an 8A which could hold a full quart. The shorter version was the Mopar filter a Fram 43 and it was a 3/4 quart filter. I don't like Fram anymore after some of their filters blew up a couple of my engines, so I would recommend cross referencing the Fram 43 filter to a Purolater or Wix....
