    I use the same Wix 51042 filter. During my rebuild, I installed a TA Performance timing chain cover with adjustable-pressure oil pump, and ran into the same clearance issue with the lower radiator hose. A friend who works at O'Reillys crossed-referenced the smaller filter for me, which was evidently used on several GM engines. I'm glad to say that it fits and works just fine!
