That is, I can plug the holes at the block. I am changing out the intake manifold so don't have a place to mount it. I'm also thinking of treating her to a beehive one from Speedway. Anyway, just want to be sure if I can plug the oil lines at the block for a while until I get it sorted out.

I am thinking of removing the oil filter entirely on my 1956 235". I change the oil frequently and understand that these by-pass filters don't filter as much as you would like. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | Yes, you can plug the oil line holes in the 1960 235 block with no problems. Just change the oil regularly. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 769 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 769 | This may sound stupid, but make sure you do not have a 261 with the full flow oil filter. These cannot be plugged. The oil line must be looped back to the block. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 1,438 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 1,438 | Thanks everyone. That is what I thought but wasn't 100%. I'd rather be a pest and ask instead of frying an engine!

I will still need to change oil just as frequent. | | |
