I recently bought a 1954 Dodge C1 pickup with the 241 ci V8. It has no oil filter aside from the pickup screen. None. I'm going to buy a filter mount which takes a modern spin-on filter. I have to drop the pan and rear main bearing cap if I want to make the filtration full-flow.
My concern is cleaning out the engine too quickly and having trash circulate around ruining bearings. My thought is to use non-detergent oil 4:1 or 3:2 with the Delo 400 15W-40 I have on hand.
Once I have it running long enough to get hot I'll change the oil and see what comes out. I'll order some valve cover gaskets so I can inspect the top end to see what horrors lurk inside.
