Bolt-On Adapter Early Ch evrolet V8 with Canister

The PERMA-COOL Bolt-On Adapter for Early Chevrolet V8 with Canister (Model 113) is a bypass-style oil filter adapter engineered for classic and early-generation Chevy V8 engines. This block-mount solution provides efficient oil circulation management through a dedicated bypass circuit, allowing unfiltered oil to return to the engine sump during cold starts or high-demand conditions—a critical feature for preserving bearing clearances and reducing startup wear on vintage and performance V8 powerplants.

Constructed from aluminum with a natural finish, the adapter features 1/2 inch NPT female inlet and outlet ports, delivering the threaded connections necessary for secure, leak-free installation. The compact footprint (6 x 2.45 x 8.05 inches) and lightweight design (0.82 lbs) minimize clearance conflicts in tight engine bays typical of early Chevrolet platforms. All required hardware and O-ring seals are included, eliminating the need for separate sourcing and ensuring proper pressure retention during operation across varying engine speeds and temperatures.

This adapter is suited for engine builders, classic car restorers, and V8 performance enthusiasts working with pre-1970 Chevrolet V8 blocks who require reliable bypass filtration without sacrificing OEM-style simplicity. Whether managing circulation on a freshly rebuilt small-block or maintaining an original engine, the PERMA-COOL 113 adapter delivers the straightforward integration and proven durability expected from a purpose-built component. Verify fitment with your specific engine year and block variant before ordering.
