Imperial Home Page -> Repair -> Engine -> Filter Adapter
If you're tired of dealing with a leaky original canister-type oil filter with hard-to-find filter elements, you can adapt your early hemi (1951-1958) to use a modern spin-on oil filter. Adapters can be purchased from Hot Heads/Power Play, but you might want to hang on to the old canister for originality's sake.

Shown is a 1956 Imperial with 354 hemi, using a Motorcraft spin-on filter after installing an adapter. |
Here's the same 354 hemi from underneath. Four bolts mount the new adapter to the block. |
