Wanted: 90 degree oil filter adapter

I need the adapter from an early Econoline that turns the filter 90 degrees to the block. These may have been used on early Broncos also. Please reply to cwr@woh.rr.com if you have one that you can sell.
Thanks!

If you have a truck salvage yard around the 300 six used in step vans hd them.

Early to mid 80s trucks with 460s had a 90* adapter and oil cooler. I've seen a few while at my local wrecking yards.

Early Econoline - with what sized engine?

If it's a 170, a 200/250 will work, but nothing else will.

If it's a 240 or 300, nothing else will work.

No V8 will work-completely different mounting (gasket).

Best bet, remotely mount the oil filter.
