Good day every one. I would like to know If there is a modification that can be done to add a oil filter to a 1935 21 stud V8 engine? This engine already has the oil pressure sensor at the rear of the block but there is no oil filter. Regards Willem Lombard (South Africa)

Ford did not offer a oil filter for 35. It was an accessory for 36 until the war. I am sure the 36-40 style of AC filter or the 40 style of Fram filter can be added to your engine.

I think you can mount the filter on the head but you don't have the connecting points for the pipes to the oil pump.

Both the AC and the Fram oil filters can return the oil to the front of the engine block through a hollow bolt. The 36 AC filter bracket will fit the 35 engine but the fram will not without modification. The Fram was designed for the 85HP engine studs which are a different pattern from the early 21 stud engines.

We put the 1936 oil filter on our 1934 Ford for the 1984 Great American Race. The distributor bolt on the left side was hollow and provied oil to the filter. The lines were NOS, but one broke before we got out of Los Angeles. A stop on the shoulder after the speedometer calibration run but before the timed posrtion for the day allowed us to get under and bend (Kinked) the lines effectively eleminatiing the filter. The rest of the 3000 mile rally was fine mechanically but we had 10 flat tires, and finished on the Indianapolis Motor Speeddway on a patch made from McDoanld's napkins and Super Glue with our whole crew in the 34 Tudor. The "Wrinkle l City Racers" whose stoty was in the V8 Times in 1984 & again 1987, was a group of 6 guys from our local antique car club in Florida. My how time flies, that was 37 years ago this May. Half of our team is still alive an still playing with cars. Four 34 Fords later, I'm still a 34 Ford guy. Never used a filter again either. 1934 Ford's since 1972
