The 1958-1962 261 USA Chevrolet truck engines came with a full flow oil filtration system. Earlier 261s and all 216/235 engines came with bypass oil filter systems. Nifty 50, Here is a discussion of this matter. Here is a picture from a 1960 Shop Manual. There are direction-of-flow-arrows in the picture. Tim | | |

I'm putting a Clifford intake and a 4 bbl on my 261 and have noticed that the Clifford intake comes much further off the block than the stock one did. So much so that I'm pretty sure the oil filter would run up against the steering column - if it was mounted on the new intake. Any comments as to alternative places to mount the oil filter would be appreciated.
