I use the Motocraft FL400 series filter. It fits my Fords, too.
When you mount the filter adapter, be sure to fit a filter so that you can
rotate the adapter such that the filter will not interfere with the clutch
slave
cylinder. A bit of a forward rotation at the bottom will suffice.
The first thing you will notice is that oil pressure will build up much more
quickly that with the old canister system. That is because the spin on filter
doesn't drain out each time the engine is stopped.
Cheers and enjoy.
