that's long for a cooler adaptor, but you never know. Head to a scrap yard and get one from a block kicking around any 302 351W 300/6 to name a few will have the right nipple.

The Explorer/Mountaineers had an angle adapter between the block and filter that used a hollow bolt. The 90's 351W's in the pickups and vans had a oil cooler adapter that also used the hollow bolt. The Explorer/Mountaineer adapter used the newer metric Ford oil filter where the Windsor oil cooler used the old FL-1A filter.
