i am working on a 85 f250 4x4 with a 460... the engine i installed is out of a 78 f250 4x4 and it had the oil filter coming straight out of the engine.. the 85 needs the adapter that turns the oil filter out toward the front of the engine.. i have the adapter and bolt.. when i removed the original oil filter (stub) fitting, the block thread is what looks about like the size of a 1/2 ntp (but its not) but the adapter bolt is the same size as the oil filter threads.. is there a reducer type adapter i need to get to mount the oil filter adapter to the 460 block?

thanks for the info 81choptop... i guess the parts guy is no longer in business.. i seen several others online for around 20.00.. i guess i need to do something..this job is already eating up too much time, because i had to make some motormount brackets that i couldnt find either..

 

i sure could use these motor mount brackets if someone has them?

Just do a search for that part number and you will find some for under $10.

I've posted the part number for the motor mount adapters before but don't know of a source for the tin heat shields.

Maybe someone who has the MPC on CD can look up the #.
I don't have a functioning optical drive atm.

 

thanks for the info ardwrkntrk... i found a oil filter adapter at a friends shop.. i traded him my straight one for it... then i made some motor mount plates didnt want to wait to find the right ones.. i have the engine sitting in the truck now.. was too tired to finish today.. willm get back on it tomorrow
