Baldwin makes a very good filter. and certainly does Fram in their Ultra. (that's what I use on my SBC in my boat)
odd. what part number are they listing in the lower frams? I thought some sbc's used a "5". I think thats what mine is...
ah, they spec a 30. the 5 is 1" longer than the 30 but has all the same specs otherwise; although it does add the ADBV which the 30 does not have. do you have space for the 5?
Any synthetic option
Any of the full synthetic media filters will be best for sitting long periods of time. Fram Ultra, Royal Purple, Purolator synthetic, Amsoil EA.
If you're having trouble finding the right filter, try to use one of the manufacturers cross reference tools.
What AC Delco filter is supposed to go on it?

FWIW, always reaches full operating temp.
Bamaro - Nice car. I am a once every two year oil 'changer' on my old Detroit muscle cars as well. Currently I am using the Wix long filter 51061 on my Chevelle and also have used the regular blue can AC Delco PF25, which are hard to find now hence my change to Wix.

FRAM Ultra seems to be the Goldielocks filter right now. When my stash of Puro Classic's & PureONE's are used up, I will be switching over to the Ultra's!

Does it matter there are no ultras for those engines? They run forever on anything.
Yup they are looking better every day since most are afraid to use the purolator. They are expensive but they say you can go 15,000 miles with them... Time will tell.

I did some Googleing and found the filter you might want.

It's a cross reference to the AC Delco PF1218 or PF35 aka Fram PH5.
All of them have the same threads and gasket size, but the Ultra XG5 has everything you want including extra media, anti drain back valve and slightly oversized.

Use a synthetic media filter.
