I installed an adapter plate on my oil filter location so I could install an oil cooler and sensors for oil temp and pressure. The adapter is about an inch and a quarter thick. It pushes the Motorcraft and Purolator Classic filter out to where it hits my sway bar and I can not mount it. Any one out there know of a shorter one than the as specified Motorsport filters?

820S will probably work too, same as the FL8A, just shorter. It's what was standard on the mod motors, so you probably have a few laying around.

I checked the short filter I use on the Cobra, because of the UPR K member. But the diameter of the hole, threaded area, was larger.

I picked up a Purolator filter that works today. I'll post the number later in case someone else may need it.
