I'm choosing the spin-on oil filter that I'll use with my Moroso remote adapter on my full-flow 261. I chose the adapter that takes the Chevy filters for V8s.

Since the filter will be closed end down, is there any need to get an anti-drain back type? Is syphoning a problem? A Fram PH13 (or equivalent) seems OK.

There are 2 quart filters available but are these only the racing variety? I wouldn't mind a larger filtering surface to help with oil pressure on cold, cold winter mornings.

Thanks!!
