Hello from Tennessee . New to this so here goes, my problem is I'm running a after market radiator and my lower hose is hitting the oil filter. Anyone have a fix for this? This picture is not my car but is my problem.

I believe there is a better fitting hose to be had. many times I have hand formed a pc. of heavy wire and took it to the auto parts store and usually have good luck but you may have to make it out of 2 pcs. If that is for a BB mopar I would be surprised.

aboard. It doesn't mean that you can't join unless you have a problem. Obviously if the standard radiator didn't have this problem, the radiator needs to be replaced . Or is the mount in the wrong place ? Need more info. Is the picture of the same brand of aftermarket radiator that you have ? Contact the radiator manufacturer for their advice.

Good luck with this issue & Welcome from California.
Remote filter. Think this one, but check. not mine.

WHy not just replace the hose.. instead of relocating the oil filter? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cel-60659/overview/make/plymouth

Thanks guys both look like good options .
Maybe. If he shifts the radiator an inch to driver's side that would help. might buy one of those myself. 22" radiators don't get the hose away from filter. Mine not as tight. Thanks

Maybe the oil filter needs to be dented,
Naa it looked to me like the hose was shorter at the top.Daves69

Just put it up for comparison since I had one laying loose. I believe you're correct.

It does look to be an inch or so longer up by your hand.

Welcome to FBBO. A buddy of mine used a oil filter relocation kit on his 318.
