Does anyone know if they make a half sized or smaller than the normal filter for a small block?? I have all my exhaust finally mocked up and to make it work all I need is a little shorter filter. I remember someone saying there is one, would anyone have the part number for this?
 
Why not get the oil adapter and use a standard size filter)
 
Do you mean like half the size of an older full quart filter? All the later Mopars used a 5281090 filter that holds about half a quart. There is also the even smaller in diameter filter used on the old K cars 2.2 but I wouldn't recommend using that one. Otherwize I see a right angle adapter in your future ((got a new crystal ball. lol))
 
well i have one on the 340 for the 74, but i want to keep it on that motor. I also don't want to go through the trouble of putting the adapter on and pipes still hitting or being too close. I know that If i get the half sized one all will 100% work, I will go there however if I have to lol

I do think I found my answer from Car Craft's hemi swap guide
Fram PH3512
 
I would also like to know because i havent had much luck with a right angle adapter over the years
 
Normal filter is a ph 8A and a shorter version of that is a ph 16.......
 
Fram TG16 is a shortie that I have on my SB Duster so it will clear the headers. I have been running Fram oil filters for many many years and I have not had one bit of problem. So To Each their own, I will stay with Fram.... JMO...

i am going after work to get one and try it, because right now i have my cars og 1971 exhaust (w/pentastars on the mufflers)
 
Back a few years (don't remember how many now, when you get old all the days start to run together) Chrysler put out a TSB saying not to use Fram filters on the diesels. They had metal chips in them, destroyed some engines and warranty wasn't covering them if they had a Fram filter on them.

But don't take my word for it just do some Google searching on oil filters and you'll find out for yourself.

plum it up and go with an OBERG cost alittle more but last a life time.and wen you change the oil you take it apart and know whats going threw the fliter....Artie
 
Hello, Wix makes a filter that's about 1/2" shorter than their 51068 filter. The part # is 51521. I'm using this one on my Demon due to my custom headers being very close to the filter. I hope this helps you, Joe Arceri.
 
I use K+N HP-2004 short or HP-3001 long filter , have yet to have a problem , also like the nut at the end . Makes taking off the filter easy . Can also wire it in for tha racey look
