Mechainiac, I checked my block again and I have no other threaded hole forward on my block, other than the 3 holes I mentioned for the motor mounts. Bear in mind, this is a 235 block that came out of a car, so the front motor mounts were on the sides. You said I was correct on the one oil line port. Which one are you referring to? And Tclederman, my canister type does have the side inlet and the bottom outlet on the filter canister. Where I'm having trouble is trying to figure out which of the threaded ports on the block are for the filter. Someone out there must have 235 block set up like mine. Again, it is a '60 or '61 235 that came out of a '61 Biscayne. If it helps, the block casting number is 3769716. That is a Chev 58-62 235 block. Any help would sure be appreciated. Thanks.
