oil filter adapter for 360

Hey guys,

I'm looking for an adapter so my oil filter will be vertical instead of horizontal. I've seen stuff on ebay, but I'm not sure which to choose. Would it be better to stay with Ford NOS, or is there an aftermarket adapter which is better?

Thanks,

zenmaster

The FE's in the cars were vertical, if you were closer to Oregon I have 4-5 of them out in my shed. Might look in a wrecking yard around local?

You could still buy them new from Ford as of a few years ago. You want the later casting C8AE-6881-A large passage one. This is a 68 and up vertical adapter. Last one I bought was $5 off a new crate engine that went to a remote filter setup. Look for the same one on ebay. Most of the NOS ones there are newer parts and fetch around $30. Used is fine too. There is a billet aftermarket one but it's like $80-90 last I looked. Hopefully some here will have one for you.

Thanks for the help, boys.

I've got my eye on several adapters on ebay. Having the Ford number helps a lot!

Thanks for that,

zenmaster

4x4 trucks also have vertical oil filters.
