    I've read allot about the oil filters on six cylinder. but does anyone know where the lines go for a 265 ???? I have one that bolts to the thermostatic housing .......one line probably to the port above the timing cover but not sure.... I know they don't move much oil , but some is better then none.. would appreciate any help..... Thanks....

    265 V8 oil filter

    I have a 265 V8 and it didnt come with an oil filter , I did install an aftermarket FRANTZ filter and ran the lines from the pressure side back into the freeze plug behind the distributor. The blocks were recast somtime in late 55 or early 56 with a cannister type filter.
    :D

    Ken thank you very much, that is what I was looking for, was beginning to think I was the only person trying to put a filter on a 265 V8. Thanks again
