2 quart oil filter????

Wondering if i should put in a 2 quart oil filter on the LT1. The LT1 has the same filter as all sbc 350's.

Normal Filter:

Normal Filter with anti drainback valve:

1.5 Quart Filter with anti-drainback valve:

2 Quart Filter(not available through K&N with anti-drainback balve):
http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?Prod=HP-6002


For the 2 quart, I would probably use a WIX because WIX probably has the valve. People are using the 1.5 quart filter with no problem. Just wondering if anyone has tried the 2 quart and if there would be an advantage to using the 2 quart.

Sure; if you want the filter to be THE LOWEST POINT on the car. In other words, the first thing that scrapes and gets torn off.

its pretty close to the lowest point. 8" from where the oil filter is screwed in: about where the bottom of the oil pan is at. This thing is 8.3" It would be about an inch higher than the y-pipe. I think the ypipe is my lowest point.
