Conversion to spin on oil filter cartridge on 409

[Poppas409]

Is there a kit to convert from the original oil filter to the spin on? If so have most guys done it?

I like the factory canister, saves time cutting the filter apart to inspect.

There are likely more engines around this site with than without the conversion.

There two kits, one uses the Chevy filter the other uses a Ford filter

 

[La Hot Rods]

I should and that the factory canister only has one O ring seal not two.

Get them for way less then showcars at Ecklers, Napa Summit, Jegs, ebay etc. Small block, big block 409 all the same kit

I have one on my W. No issues.

I have several vehicles using the NAPA conversion. You must use your original bypass. Napa no. 4061 It uses the Chevy filter.

Mr. gasket makes one also...... I do remember seeing a thread started where someone was having problems with one being leaky....I believe the close nipple was coming loose

I have the original canister on 5 of my 409's , one of my 396's and my little 283 with no leaks and like being able to see what's going on inside. I have 2 348's going together that are also going to have the canister.

Just watch the length of the bell housing bolt in that area, if it is too long it will damage the O ring and will leak.

Be careful not to over tighten the adaptor or a tiny crack can develop leaving you with a leak.

Not sure how true this is but years ago I was told the canister had more filtering area. New filters do seemed to have upped their game. Anyone know the facts?

 

[64ss409]

I found where the PF 35 is 25-30 microns. I can't find those specs for a PF141. Nor can I find the square paper area for either filter.

If you intend to use the TransDapt, don't use the Cheap, Chinese bolts or the large Nut.

I like the Ford filter adapter and replace the nut with an AN nut. No leakee.

Been meaning to weld an 1/8 in pipe thread nut to the bottom of my canister to make filter changes less messy
