Hello All,

I am getting closer to installing a 261 into my 51 6400 and I have a question bout the oil system.

I know that I have a 61 261 Chevy that is of course a full flow oil pressure engine. I was wondering if I could use my original by-pass oil filter canister from my 235?

At first I thought that it couldn't work, but a freind tells me that I should be able to use it. I was planning on using a universal oil filter relocation kit and plumming the system with stainless tubing, so that I can use a fram ph8a spin on filter.

But if I don't need to spend money on this and can leave everything looking original, that would be nice.

Thanks in advance,
Elias
