Explorer oil filter location

[scottiec]

I'm running (not yet running mind you) an explorer 302 with the BBK 4->4 headers. I removed that big long crazy oil filter adapter from the explorer and toss it in the trash. Just had to get an oil filter nipple for the stock location on the side of the block. Summit sells them for cheap (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aaf-all92003) . I put on a slightly shorter than stock oil filter.. and good to go.

Ahhh thank you so much. Is there a reason you need a shorter than stock filter?
