I've been looking for a 90* oil filter adapter for my 440ci R3 small block in my 74 Roadrunner. I know Mopar Performance discontinued these for whatever reason but i can't seem to find one anywhere else besides old, crusty, cast iron used ones on Ebay for wayyyyyy too much money.
Does anyone know of a place manufacturing these? You would think that such a simple part would be manufactured by someone else by now.

Thanks,
JJ

I got one from Mancini Racing a year or so ago, give them a try.

I think I have one on a shelf I can part with. Pm me if you would like and I'll make sure it's complete

They no longer offer them. Thanks though.

never used one

80 bucks. Don't know if that's a deal. Haven't bought one for years. No bolt with it. I did see a bolt at another place for $60.

I don't understand. It's still showing in the Mopar Performance catalog along with R3s and other goodies. Are you telling me that the catalog is not up to date?

I've got one. I have thrown away a dozen of these things over the years. Told my Mopar Performance dealer I had it and he told me to not take less than $100 for it. According to him $80 would be a deal I guess.

I have one that belongs to a friend in my garage somewhere. No centre bolt for it though. I didn't think anyone over here in Aus would buy it, so I haven't done anything with it.

The bolt and the gasket set used to be available for sale as two different part numbers as well as the entire assembly. There was two different bolts available over the years one with the oil passages next to each other and one with the passages staggered , the one with the staggered passages is stronger, ask me how I know?

There are a few bolts out there still for sale for $60 give or take. That could be made. The adapters are scarce. How can MP stop doing these?

Nevermind. Dumb question.

I have one, cleaned up, with a bolt and new gasket set. $80. PM me if you're interested.

Put a remote filter on it.. way easier to change
the filter and you end up with more oil in the system
just make the lines big enough
EDIT
you can buy all the parts needed from Summit.. the
plate that mounts on the engine and the remote filter
set up.. make your own lines with a radiused turn for
flow
ALSO..on a R3 dont you have the mains priority oiling
(the inlet of the oil at the front china rail)

Also CV products has a billed one if so desired.
Andy F has used a set of extentions on his 427 small block build. I think the company is Bo Laws Performance.

It an R3 Siamese bore 340 Resto block.... Externally it looks pretty much the same as any 340 block, internally is a different story.

I'm not sure about the resto block.. I assume it
oils just like a stock block so you wont have the
front oil inlet

What is this front oil inlet you're referring to? What is it's purpose?

It's a passage in the front china wall that goes straight down to the main oil passage that runs along the lifter bores and feeds the mains. My R1 has the boss but is not drilled.

It must have it.... The only difference between the R3 race and R3 resto is the extra head bolt bosses are milled off of the resto. You can see on my block where they were shaved.

OK, i just looked it up.... Yeah my block has that passage. There is an allen key plug in it.
