Broke Oil Filter Casting on 69 Dart 383
 

Crap, I put my 383 from the 69 Dart on the engine stand and was rolling it out of the way, when of course the Cheap ass engine stand tipped and the motor landed on the right front of the motor, where the oil filter screws on, KABOOM - about 20 pieces NOW!! Please somebody tell me that piece is not unique to the 383 Darts only and where would I go to find a new one. I attached pics. It's a casting with 4 bolts holding it to the motor. [:o] [:o] [:o] [:o]

Thanks for any ideas anyone has on where to get one.

You're in luck. They come on all big block mopars. You should be able to find one with little or no problem.

Yep it's common on them all. You can probably pick one up at your local junkyard even, pull one of of a 383 or 400 from a truck or something, most likely the BB's in the cars were pulled and bought.

Shouldn't be a big problem finding a used one, but if you can't and have some money to spend, you can get one from YearOne. They are probably the most expensive but their parts always fit and function as well as OEM.

Good luck!
