Eddie

no frame forks, so the engine floats on the nosecone mount and that rear bar, IRS type 3s, type 4s, bay window buses and t25/vanagons  are all like it along with a WBX turbo car from Norway Wink  No use for a swingaxle car though I think

cheers Richie

The reason I asked is because I have seen this done before AND the oil lines seem to be conected to the "Breather outlet" ie the fuel pump mount and the oil filler/breather...... I can't imagine this would be good for oilflow/pressure  Undecided

Have a CLOSE look at the pictures.....

Question Monkiboy, how does the oil circulate through your oil filter.  I can't figure it out.

It looks like it's just a breather and not a actual filter.

The inlet is from the fill breather and the outlet is to the fuel pump blockoff vent.

Richard's motor has a conventional fulll flow filter. The Fram canister is his breather can. I think the front of the lid (not visible- against fan housing) is slotted to vent to atmosphere. He put a lot of thought and test fitting to what you see in his engine bay. It doesn't just look nice, it runs very strong and very cool. And it isn't just another cookie cutter combination copied from 100 other cars.

No this was a buddy that lived up the hill from my parents' place on the Pleasanton/Livermore border. He was a real gearhead, more of a V8 guy but accepting of anything that had been breathed on. He had a nice black '66 GTO.

True, the canister is just used as a breather.  I love the look of the old Porsche/okrasa motors that used those filters, but obviously they aren't going to work well on a higher performance engine.  

Like Jim said, the Fram canister is plumed to the breather ports and the top end of the canister is notched/slotted (not sealed) to vent.  Probably not the most efficient breather, but hey, I like the way it looks  Grin

My actual oil filter is a Canson spin-on unit thats hidden under the car.
