oil filter with Moroso pan????

[joebob450r]

Hey guys. First of all, I have a Moroso 7qt oil pan on my new motor for the L. I went to put the oil filter on today and the F-er wouldn't fit :mj: It hit the oil pan, and would not thread in. I bought the motor with the oil pan on, so I don't know if they have the wrong one on there or what? But how could it be the wrong one if it bolts up, right? Does anyone have an idea as to what I can do? I thought I heard someone mention an oil filter relocator kit? Or should I just put my stocker back on? Thanks for the help guys, it is pretty much the only thing holding me back from starting the new motor. Joe

I'm guessing its like the canton pan I have....I had to bang the pan in just a tad right where the filter hits the pan. It isn't much, so no biggie.

Cool. I will have to give it a little "tap" and see what happens. Thanks

Hmmmmmm. Well Maybe I will have to put my stocker back on :shrug:

Take a picture the clerance issue with your pan and filter, it'll give some more opinions from everyone of what you can do.

If it's just a little bit, Im sure you can just dent it the pan inward to itself to make the filter fit as VPR said.

Alrighty, I will get a pic up here tomorrow morning ASAP.
