Any real benefit to installing a bypass oil filter on a '36? I change oil every 1000 miles or so.

If maintaining the originality of your '36 is of value to you, I'd think that would be enough reason to not install a filter. Alan

We installed a filter on our 34 Tudor for the 1984 Great American Race with the idea that extra cooling from the extra oil would be a benefit. Big mistake. Day one the oil line to the filter burst and we had to pinch it off before we got out of Los Angeles. Never did that again and the old filter may still be in the barn. 1934 Ford's since 1972

Basically a waste of time and money. Better off to use a good grade of detergent oil and change it when it appears to be getting dirty.

I think if the RIGHT system is used, and installed CORRECTLY, it would be a benefit on a vehicle that's driven often on lots of trips and sees lots of mileage. On the typical garage, trailer, show qweens, it would not be that important IMO. I installed a Mark Kirby full flow oil filtering system on one of my 35 engines during a rebuild ~ 2001, and I am glad it's there based on the type of driving I do. I also have a Reds Header, 95% FF system on a built up 286ci, 59 series engine in a 35 hotrod project that I'm building. However, for two 36LB engines that will be going into 35 coupes, I will probably not bother putting any type of oil filtering systems on these engines, and just plan to change the oil more frequently.
