Hello!

A few years ago I installed a Corvette LT 1 engine in my 69'Camaro.

I think because of the narrow engine bay of the Corvette there's an adapter at the oil filter, which move the filter closer to the engine.

I want to have a look to this adapter and since then it's leaking. I tried several times to fix (new seals etc) but without any success. Especially at the bolts there are always oil drops.

Because at the Camaro there's enough space I want to eliminate this adapter. But sorry I don't know this detail from a "normal" small block=>

Is there a "normal" adapter from the block => oil filter or better a direct connection flange possibility to the hoses from my separate oil filter unit.

Thanks for help

Detailed pictures from a standard (LT1 F-body) small block are welcome!

 

You can get the fitting from almost any small block chevy. There are two bolts that hold the adapter. Remove the old one and intall the new one. I did this on mine when I took off the oil cooler. If you search posts for oil cooler removal you will most likely find pics.
