It seems to me that all you get from a full flow system is longer oil change intervals. Is that worth the expense and effort? The bypass filter extended the oil change from 1,000 to 2,000 miles. That's good enough for me.

There is an MCF kit for sale on E..y, check item 300277230950 We have been using a similar setup on a race motor for 20 years with no problems!

Here's a pic of what I have on my 8ba. It seems to work fine & I have around 18K mies on it. It's not really 100% because it doesn't filter the rear main oil, but it's better than nothing or 10% IMHO.

Here's a link to the system that I have on one of my engines. It may be the one you're looking for. It uses the design that the Canadian flatheads had on their military engines and, I suspect, on others at the time. http://www.flatheadv8.org/filter.htm Ken

MCF (Motor City Flatheads) developed a kit which fed the oil from the pump out the side of the pan, through a filter, and then back into the block. This filters all the oil, including the rear main and rear rods. Here is a link to a similar setup: http://home1.gte.net/wgmumaw/Full%20Flow%20Filter/FFfilterBills.htm Downside is that MCF may not be still in business as the owner was not doing well a few years ago.

I have to agree with supereal.Very few guys in our group have oil filters.Just rebuilt my 59AB didnt think about a filter.
