So youve installed those new headers on your 318/ 360 (5.2/ 5.9) and now the oil filter wont fit, or its REALLY tight. The Mopar oil filter adapter (90 degree) is like 45 bucks new, and its still a pain to get at.
Dont despair.
Just order a filter for a 1987 Dodge aires with a 2.2L. It screws right on with the exact same gaskets size. And its much smaller in size.
So far as durability, I have had no problems over 200,000 miles with low oil pressure or clogged filters. I change them at about 6-8,000 miles, running Fram or AutoQuest filters.

Most Chryslers use the same filter. There is actually a tall and a short for the small and big blocks, I used to run the short on my 440 Charger because the tall one would hit the power sterring belt going on.

I like those filter relocation kits, espcially the ones for dual filters. I like having the extra quart of oil plus you can mount it where ever you want.

Yes, especially vertical, so you don't spill oil everywhere when you change it!
