[Tigers] Oil filter question

[CALUMETAIR at aol.com]

I am back at work on my Tiger. I am finishing the engine now and have a  
bunch of questions. I will limit them to one at a time.
 
I would like to know if I can run a "shorty" oil filter on my '85 302 Tiger 
 engine in place of the remote filter setup?
 
Thank you. I am excited at the prospect of actually completing my project  
in the near future and driving it.
