Like it sais what aftermarket k member can I use with out the oil filter relocation kit....my buddy used a upr and he had to massage the oil filter a little to get it to fit ...but is there any nice chrome moly kmembers out there. ....just dont like the idea of having extra shit to potentially leak...
WHAT K MEMBER WITH NO OIL filter RELOCATION KIT
- Thread starter sabotage
- Start date
AJE here with OE filter location. They also have the option of keeping the OE A-arms etc. if you don't want to go coil over and I can vouch for its fit. Solid engine mounts though, not for ya softies who gotta quiet shifters etc.

Steeda. It's a work of art and built like a tank.
Also uses OEM springs and control arms.

UPR Chrome moly here. No issues and fitment was good.
Same here. Use Motorcraft filter and don't have any issues.
With aje you have to use their aftermarket engine mounts...that wasn't an option for me
I really think I'm going to try the steedas piece just because it's solid and does not require coil overs. I've just been waiting on more people to use it but I think at that price people veer away.

Malcolm,
Weight reduction and decreased coverage allowing more access for maintenance is the only reason I want one. They do look alittle trick though. :-D
Just curious on the kmembers that hit the filters, where does it hit at? is it side clearance or length clearance? if it's the side of the filters hitting the fl500 is a narrower/longer filter that may be an option.
Im running the UPR and the factory oil filter is to long to run. There are several other filter options out there that I can still choose from that will fit. Im running a WIX filter currently, not the one made directly for our cars but I found one that fits and flows the same as the one for our cars. I also know the AC Delco filter, Super Tech filter, and the Amsoil filters all will clear with ease.

Griggs uses the STOCK oil filter!!!
Malcolm, for me personally, I was considering doing it just because I need to drop the stocker anyway when I install my headers, so I was thinking about adding something stronger and potentially lighter "while I was in there anyway". I don't race the car, so I would ONLY want one that could utilize stock type spring perches, and arms. Still haven't decided on a brand/model yet which is why this thread is of interest to me.
Chromoly UPR K-member here and no issues at all. There isn't a whole lot of room to play with when changing the filter but I have had no issues of not being able to get it on or off.
Ah yes, thanks I edited my post to include said info. for future consideration.
35 lbs. lighter, WAY more room to do under motor work.
Have you tried the shorter but larger diameter Ford Racing filter? Should be using it anyway due to much more filter media capacity.
What's the part #? I've used the OEM spec'd filter since new but I'm always open to exploring options.
