Hi Tony! Welcome to the C.A.T. Forum.I have heard that the remote oil filter can be removed and a shorter filter can be attached directly to the block. Can anyone tell me the part number for the filter and if a male to male pipe is needed to be screwed into the block to receive the new filter ?
ThanksHi Tony! Welcome to the C.A.T. Forum.
There are a lot of threads dealing with eliminating the stock, remote oil filter setup and install a short filter directly on the block using a right angle adapter. You might want to do a SEARCH within this Forum for "oil filter" and you will see a lot of threads to check out.
Good luck!

completely agree about oil changes! always a mess!!!I have run the oil filter behind the headlight, used the shortie filter, an adapter upside down on the L head, the Econoline 90 degree adapter, and even stock - pretty much every position but on the bellhousing. All have problems. I have not tried a filter right side up on the L head and simple enough by buying yet another adapter.
Yes heat is a concern when nestled up to a hot tube, even if ceramic coated, and that is making me lean toward my mid 70's method with the filter behind the headlight but hose routing is problematic
Non-leaking hoses on the stock set up would be nice, but still not so easy to change the filter.
I have this setup, and have to run the narrower (PH3600-type) filter. Not too close to header (about 3/8") but I'm planning a switch to a larger pan and Canton remote filter once I figure out an adapter that clears everything.Anyone try the Ford Racing 90 degree adapter M6880-B50 with the latest version of the club headers?
Thanks for the confirmation on fit, but as Sean points out, that puts a very hot tube too close to the filter for my liking as well.I have this setup, and have to run the narrower (PH3600-type) filter.
