hello i changed the engine in a 99 2 wheel drive blazer to a 4x4 and the 4x4 has an oil filer under the front bmper but the engine also has the one on the side. the one on the engine hits do they make a cap or some thing for that.

 

nope. Wheres the oil lines and adapter off the old engine? If you dont have it you can find em at the yards fairly reasonable.

 

Like what Chris said. Can't you put the lines and adapter from the 4x4 engine on? Or do you not have them.

I thought I read somewhere on here that all blazers had a remote oil filter, regardless whether it's two or four wheel drive? Guess not.

 

I thought that all the Blazers came with the remote oil filter too but on the two wheel drive Blazers a lot of guys were removing the remote filter system in favor of putting the filter directly on the engine because they had room.

 

There was even a thread a while back where some 4wd guys were ditching the remote filter, and putting the filter on the block. They claimed there was room, but I wouldn't want to have to deal with it.

 

you use a shorter filter. And you move the nipple the filter screws onto on the old adapter and it threads directly into the block. Thats if u want it on the block.

Cleburne,as far as i know only 4wd had remotes. others was on the block.

il spend my precious time looking for the part # on the shorter oil filter.
(since ive got absolutely nothing to do tonight lol)



FOUND IT! PF47 filter is what you use. or it cross referenced to a fram 3387A

 

I guess if it's shorter, it would probably work. I was trying to imagine getting the regular sized filter up there!

It would make more sense that the 2wd was on the block. I just thought I had heard they were all remote. Seemed pretty weird to me, but I've never worked on a 2wd before.

 

thanks got the part at junk yard for 20 bucks.thanks for the help.
