oil filter housing different on truck motor

Hi guys, I just noticed that the oil filter housing on my new motor is different. It's out of a 93 chevy 1500. Curious how to switch it to a traditional one that goes straight down. I googled with no luck. oil filter housing different on truck motor-imag0397.jpg

Im worried about header and K member clearance issues.

4x4 trucks have a 90* adapter to clear the front drive shaft.It can easily be swapped out for a regular adapter.Available @ most part stores.
