For those of you running an O-360 with the dynafocal mount Did you have to use a remote oil filter or did you have enough room in front of the firewall for the rear mounted filter.
The project that I have has a dynafocal mount with it but there does not seem to be room for the filter.
I dont know what engine was intended to be fitted. I have an O-360.
I haven't tried to fit it yet as I am not ready for that.

Thanks for the replies. It looks great. Much easier for filter changes that rear mounted.

YES...Muey Bueno ! Much less of a mess than trying to change the filter on the back of the engine !
