No, we've had that conversation like 20 times, don't you ever pay attention?

Actually I was thinking about that and it occurred to me that that must be why LT1s use a shorter filter than the truck/van 5.7s. But I looked at mine and I have plenty of room, it won't be anywhere near being the lowest point on the engine, if it was sticking out past the pan I wouldn't do it. If anything the increased oil capacity should help slightly with oil temps.

As an interesting side note, 4WD pickups use an entirely different filter, it even has different threads.
