short oil filter

is there a super short oil filter that fits a 545?
header interferance is a problem

Check what a small block mopar uses .I am confident they are the same as the ford but shorter .

FL-300 = short mopar filter.

I'd use a remote oil filter set-up

There is a filter which is only about 2 1/2" tall but, I can't remember the application it is originally for.

....or use the Ford Racing adaptor. It allows you to clock your filter in any direction.

I have the ford adapter and it hits the motor plate. The remote adapter I don't trust after my other car developed leaks. I would prefer Randy's solution if I could get a part number

I know that it probably sounds "oddball", but I used a NAPA filter for a Renault Lecar (spelling?) with good results. Used on a 351 Cleveland in a Model A chassis, needed a super short filter to clear the steering shaft, it worked perfectly - sorry, I don't have a number for it. Maybe NAPA still has a listing.

the FL300 suggested by Lem has solved my problem. Thanks for all the replies

So, you didn't need the SUPER short filter after all.
It's good that you got your problem solved. Now others also know that a SUPER short one does exist.

The jomar filter is 5 1/4 tall the FL300 is 3 1/2 with the ford adapter i get the clearance I need from the motor plate. A filter @ 2 1/2 inches would let me omit the ford adapter but Napa wasn't a lot of help finding the really short one.
