Every engine i build i tap for a full flow. Even if i don't install one on the initial build.

Unless you're doing a stock restoration and the engine is a 25hp or 36hp i do a full flow.

The reasons are obvious... cleaner oil and alittle more capacity. While you're at it... add a 1.5qt deep sump.

More oil and cleaner oil is a good thing.

I agree with Glenn, can't have too much or too clean oil.

A remote filter will mount easily under the car.
