I don't recall anyone ever posting they had done that mod except on a V8 when adding a full flow filter to the Olds oil pump conversion so no help on numbers.

Summit has a relatively inexpensive kit with a mount for the spin on that looks like it would be able to fit in the same area as the Packard filter. Probably need to make some kind of conversion piece out of flat stock to mate the wide Packard holes on the head to the narrower adapter holes.https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g4985-1/overview/ Summit has other adapters not in kit form that might also work but you need to buy the fittings and lines separately. Here is one that also accepts the PH8A filterhttps://www.summitracing.com/parts/der-35709/overview/


It would appear on any of the adapter kits the filter ports are very large compared to what is on the car. If I were doing it I think I would disregard the rubber hoses and fittings that come with the kits and buy brass fittings or adapters and maybe do metal tubing to make the lines look more stock but that may be overkill. Not sure what kind of fittings would be needed or are available to get from the large filter ports on the adapters to the 1/8 NPT out of the engine no matter what hose or tubing you use.
