[Tigers] oil filter adapter

This adapter is interesting. I have the type of headers with the tube in 
front of the motor mount and to be sure, the "shorty" spin on filter that 
some folks use won't work.

But it looks like the right angle adapter might fit if I can confirm its 
dimensions. My question: is there enough room for the filter to fit forward, 
horizontally, as it appears the front crossmember and steering column shaft 
would get in the way.

Stu, are you using a standard FL-1/PH-8 Ford Filter or a shorter one?

Thanks everyone,

Mike
