@Rick's 2006 SS: This past Winter/Spring we tore it down & installed the new World heads ... I cannot tell ya how much of a difference that has made! I mean, we knew it would "wake" the engine up, but to the extent that it did? We never would have imagined ...

As I went back through another HDD in my array, I found a few more photos from our latest build.

Did you check on a pf932 oil filter from ac delco? It has 2 qt capacity also. And check your spelling on milodon.

I'm sure you've probably already done your homework on this. But according to K&N, the HP 6002 oil filter is a replacement for the following oil filters:
