I have the Wix 51515 oil filter on my BB motor and I'm have some fitment issues running some charge piping around it and could really benefit from a shorter oil filter. I like the KP S15 billet reuseable oil filter and could gain close to 2 inches in space. But funds are a little tight right now else I just pull the trigger on one. Does Wix make a short oil filter that will work on a Big Block? If anyone has a part number for a shorter oil filter even if it's another brand I'd appreciate it.

51085 3.790" tall. 51068 4.338" tall Not sure on the microns or capacities. I'm assuming these are Wix #'s (my note taking is poor!) the 51515 you have is 5.180" tall

Thanks guys yes the 51515 is alitttle over 5 inches I'll see if the parts store has a 51085. I'm cramped for space and every inch I can gain goes a long away.

Ok Sammy I have 2 of the 51515 at the house now and will run one of them on break in,as my charge piping won't be hooked up then.

I think 85068 is the shorty for use with a low mount power steering. The 515 hits the belts on those applications.
I want my fair share

Ok Sammy I have 2 of the 51515 at the house now and will run one of them on break in,as my charge piping won't be hooked up then. breakin should be the white one only, with very fine micron. not sure of the part # offhand. I just took my breakin filter off, it caught most of the assembly lube moly. after the 51515 should be put on.

5151R it's the WIX race filter
Is the 5151r shorter in size? NO Turbo, that's full length but filters only 61 microns. Breakin filter 51515 filters like 19 microns but is also full length.
