Oil filter

Hi folks from Chula Vista.
I need to change the engine oil, but its hard to find it, the filter is the old type thet goes in a container. I want to know if I remove from a 80's 350 engine the base that holds the filter can I put it at my old engine and use the regular oil filter.
Thanks

I don't think so, somebody does make a kit but I believe it then uses a ford filter

Re: Oil filter

They still sell the old style filter or you can get a conversion kit.

This is what you need. Then you can use a modern oil filter and not worry about if the parts store has the old cartridge type in stock.

Re: Oil filter

I'm not sure if the engine is 350 or 327 or 283.
I'll check the ebay but do they say wich filter fits on that conversion kit?
Thanks

Re: Oil filter

The link I posted for you from ebay is correct for any small block chevy engine and will use a AC Delco PF35 or equivalent oil filter.
