Default Re: Motor City Flathead Oil Pump

I have a very similar setup to the MC one - though mine was made in the last few years and I like the design. My quandary was what to do about the dang filter . . . just couldn't see myself with a modern full-flow type setup anywhere in the engine compartment - yet I wanted to be able to change it and not have to crawl under the car.

So I did a bit of Imagineering and came up with this concept to modify an old Fram setup to use a modern filter (hidden in it - was an evenings work), but the results are about as good as I could come up with. Very few people would think that this was not a stock add-on oil filter setup.

Yes, the filter is upside down, but the cannister has a drain in the bottom and with a few rags, I clean the cannister out. Hell, I only change the oil-filter once a year, so I live with the inconvenience as the 'look' was important to me.
