Why is it that nobody seems to have or care about 2nd gen chevy small block V8's 262-400 ci. . I mean there used to be tens of thousands of them on the road in C3 and C4 corvettes, camaros, caprices, impala's, chevy and GMC trucks and so on. I did manage to locate Fram XG30 filters for my LM1 interceptor motor but there hard to come by. There were I think about 60,000,000 of them made ?

Cash for clunkers and China's need for metal. That about sums it up.
And the quest for more MPGs.
PF52 FTW!!

Can you easily get an orange can for them?

I'd rather crush an orange can than a small block chevy!

What is the topic here?
The demise of an engine, or the availability of filters.
I see plenty of filters for this engine series ...

I saw a bunch of random Fram orange cans sitting in the clearance aisle at wal mart. They were a dollar a piece. I sold them to a friendly fellow on here for what I paid + shipping. He said the filters for his old MG Midget were very scarce and he'd take an orange can even though it wasn't his preference.
I guess we can be thankful if we have a wide variety of filters for our vehiecle to choose from.
