Long story short I needed to use a remote oil filter set up on my car. I went -10 on everything but my 90degree fittings will come within 1/4 inch of the primaries of the headers. Am I asking for disaster? I'd use the factory set up but I physically can't get the oil filter on this car without dropping a header or punching a hole in the firewall.

I remeasured and its a half inch between the an fittings and the #8 primary. Maybe a bit of header wrap? Its not a street car.

Header wrap is a good idea. Only needed around the immediate area. 1/2" should be ok with the header wrap.

If it is a dedicated drag car I would just order some heat sleeving and not worry about it. For the most part there really is not enough heat in the oil of most drag cars. Especially early in the day.

Yep, sleeve it or wrap it, problem solved. I have just done mine to keep some heat out of the main oil feed line and the starter.

Change of plans.....I figured out another way. Thanks

Being that your going remote filter.. you should
have plenty of room.. just a mater of how you come
off the block with your first fittings
