About ready to bolt up my BBC to my 92 K1500 chassis. The original SBC has a 90 degree filter adapter to clear the front drive shaft. The 454 came out of a 94 C2500 and so it is a straight down filter and by the looks of it, will have clearance issues. Did the 454s come with any 90* adapters? I can't find any. Can I use my SBC adapter and block off the oil cooler fittings (454 has them on the block)? Or is there a different filter to use that will give clearance?

Any thoughts would help. Thanks!

I believe I finally found a suitable answer. Switching to a late model PF454 oil filter should work. Any confirmation?

I know my 454 has a bigger filter then the 350 but I'm gonna have to look how it's in. It's about due for an oil change so it's been to long since I bought a filter. I'll try to check before work if I remember.

My '95 big block has the 90* adapter and looks like this one.

There is a short filter meant for the 4wd 7.4 trucks, I think that PF454 is the correct one.

Thanks. Later found that too. Once I get it in the truck, Saturday God willing, I'll see if it will work for me. Other wise I'll order the proper adapter.

PF454 or PH30. I'm running a short filter straight down on my 350 in a 4x4. clears just fine.
