Gary/Colyn -

The 320 I built has the 'short' engine mount,= which doesn't provide =3D
nearly enough clearance for an aviation filter. I wasn't abo= ut to punch =3D
a hole in the firewall or resort to a right angle adapter, so I check= ed =3D
automotive filters and identified the Mobil= M1-107 as small enough to =3D

320 cid Lycoming. I'm not knowledgeable of aviation versus automotive = =3D
