gen V big block chevy oil filter adapter (help)

[lynn]

had my engine rebuilt and they did not give me back my oil filter adapter, well they gave me back half of it I think it will not seal against the block do any of you gearheads know of any part or parts that would allow me to install the filter?

on the genV block all you have is the steel or aluminum threaded fitting that screws into the block, then the oil filter screws onto that fitting. the filter is mated straight to the block surface. note that there are presure relief valves pressed into the block under the oil filter area. some people either change them for higher presure valves and or remove them. you do not need the casted aluminum filter adapter like the ones used on the mark4 blocks.
