Do I need 90 degree oil filter adapter for headers?

I had Hooker Super-Comps on my 360....it was tight..... so a 90-degree adaptor would be useful.

****Please note that the filter and oil have been changed since this photo was taken. :lol:
 
I also had to use a short filter due to headers.
 
If you don't object to a smaller filter Look up Wix 51516
That is for a 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo charged. Been using that ( or other brands) on all my Mopars for the last 20 years.
We all change oil way more often on our classics than daily drivers. Just a thought.
 
I used the trans-dapt filter relocation kit and mounted the filter to my fender. I just made sure to keep the hoses as far from the headers as possible. No issues after 2+ years.

I could be wrong, but I thought they made a 45-degree adapter as well that might work better.

Seriously though, use a 90 degree adapter to get more distance between the filter and exhaust headers. Heat!

What cam is your engine builder going to use?
