Has anybody actually ever laid eyes on the innards of the UPF48R as compared to the Mobil 1? I have read that they are exactly the same. I'll tell you one thing, this is a heavy, finely constructed filter. I have two of them and I really almost don't have the heart to cut this beast open. Has anybody ever laid eyes on the innards of these?
UPF48R and Mobil 1

I can already mention that based on this link the bypass valves look different. The Mobil 1 in this link has the plastic Fram style bypass valve, the ACDelco UPF48R has the style of cartridge top bypass valve where the spring is on the inside of the media.

Where would one buy a UPF AC Delco filter? I'd like to try one in the Firebird.

Save yourself time and get the Fram Ultra. It is in everyway shape and form a better filter. It's rated to be one of the best and it's cheap at Walmart. I have the Amsoil EAO oil filters and the Fram Ultras. I don't think I will ever run a AC Delco filter again.

I already have a few Fram Ultras for it, but the curiosity was killing me

Rock Auto has a AC Delco Ultra Guard (UPF52, longer version of the 47) for 8.22 before shipping. Amazon is 10.88.
I believe GM4LIFE is thinking of a regular AC Delco filter and not an Ultraguard. I have used Ultraguards (UPF 52) multiple times and they always looked great when I cut them open after use.
See Daman's post.

Funny, post all your findings of the two that show the fram is better in every way.
the UPF filtering capabilities is very good, we did our own testing on one here at BITOG.

When I owned a Corvette, I would buy UPF44 filters from these guys:
http://www.gmpartshouse.com/c6partslist.html
They currently sell the UPF48R for $9.80 plus shipping.
To finish out your order you could add a 2011 ZR1 crate engine to your cart for an additional $21,995.

Sadly, Chevy/GM Performance stopped offering the LS7 crate engines (they were a little more than half the price of the LS9 you've stated above), just when I was about to throw one into my f body's engine bay, dry sump and all!
LOL
