any downfalls of a shorty oil filter??

The short filter won't harm anything and if you decide to run headers it might be required. The Fram number for the 340 is PH43.


And if you want a really small filter, you can use the Fram PH3614. It came on the K-cars with the 2.2 engine. And if people tell you that's too small of a filter, just change it more often. When I worked in a shop back in the late 80's, we had a customer with a K-car. He would always have us put on a PH43 instead. So the filters do interchange.
