The block on my '57 289 GH was replaced with a cloverleaf type so it now has the full flow filter. Would there be any problems with also installing a partial flow filter kit for authenticity? Under the hood sure would look more correct. Would I need to add another qt. of oil to compensate for the extra filter? The kit has the NOS kit also has the original rubber lines, should I use hard lines to plumb it? Thanks for your help.

You could install the partial flow filter and plug the supply line, then install the full flow filter on the bottom of the block.RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player. In the old car radio business since 1985.

No problem. The T cab trucks with full flow engines used a block off for the spin-on filter and a remote filter up top. The 52 pickup I have came to me with a 64 engine with a spin-on filter and the canister type both in use. I have not studied out how the canister is plumbed. It is mounted on the back of the glove box."In the heart of Arkansas."
