Is it OK to run as-is? Does anyone know of a slightly smaller filter I can run on the stock mounting point? What do you recommend?
Thanks.

Don't know if you already have a shorty on there...it won't help diameter wise...a remote location would work to keep the oil filter away from the engine heat. They can be had through Jegs or Summit. Good luck with your fix.
