Oil Filter Trapped
I am getting ready to put my new engine in and I test fitted the headers and I found that the oil filter will not come out by the headers and oil pan and bell housing. Here is my set up.
68 Camaro
427 dart SHP block
Moroso 7 qt pan
Dougs 368 Headers
Lakewood Bellhousing
What are my options? It looks like if the bellhousing had a half moon bite out of it it may come out that way. Is there a remote filter option?

Remote oil filter is the only good option.

Nothing wrong with a remote filter. Put it in the right place, and oil changes become much easier.

Ive been having people look at stock GM adapters then making blocks from aluminum and putting AN/NPT threaded adapter then running hoses as needed, one guy found a set of hoses from newer truck engine and simply bent them his way, lots of stuff out there and let him use OEM type filters.
