While assembling my S&J remanufactured engine, i discovered there is no base to mount the oil filter to.
The block is designed for it, but i have not been successfull in finding any data on what is needed for the mounting base to the filter.
Everything that it would attach to is there, the threaded center hole for stem to screw filter onto- minus the stem
The port for oil to pass thru and then there is a threaded hole with a plug screwed into it to seal it.
Could anyone explain what i need and how its installed.
Its a 5.9L Magnum small block for 95 Ram 1500 4x4.
I never had to purchase a bare block to work from before.
Here in interior alaska these parts are much harder to find than gold, most days.
Thanks for any help.

 

Download one of the service manuals from the FAQ/DIY section, might be something in it. Where is the old motor?

 

Old motor was remanufactured and donated to local man needing replacement in his 96 Ram.
I will check DIY section.
Thanks.

 

These are the part numbers you need. numbers taken from the 96 parts book, page 348.
