I can't offer any info other than I'm sure Summit and Jegs has them. Just curios as to why you want to do it?

If you have a 5.2 or 5.9 NAPA., AutoZone, most of them carry one, it is the same one that uses a Ford Filter, since ours uses a Ford Filter for A full one quart conversion,

737, I've thought about putting one on as well. The one I was l looking at is at Summit. I didn't get it because I couldn't figure out a decent place to put it. Where were you thinking of putting yours?
(Yes, it's easy to get to and replace. I was looking at doing it just to cut down on the complete mess it makes when pulling the old filter.)

I can not easily reach the filter with out burning my arm on the dual exhaust. Then spilling oil all over the garage floor from the filter dripping.

I have a non k&n air CAI and I was going to mount the filter to the air box and make the filter level to the bottom of the valve cover. Maybe even just mount it to the inner fender wall. Either way I just want it else where.

Maybe it's easier to change the filter, but no thanks! There is already enough hoses and connections that go bad to worry about blowing out or coming loose. And that happens to be the MOST important one. I'll just keep using a piece of cardboard with a bend down the middle to keep the dripping oil going into the drain pan.

737, I don't know that either of those locations will be very secure. That's the problem I've had is finding a solid secure location that is out of the way of the suspension and flying debris.
