I think someone said the 356 came with the filter from factory so obviously they had given it some thought. The other blocks with mechanical lifters are apparently the ones without.

I'm not even sure it would have taken a casting change at this point, just a short stay in the drill and tap machine. Probably didn't want that done in the field because of the expense and aggravation of taking oil pan off to keep the chips out.

I'm still thinking engineers thought filters were unnecessary with those lifters and wouldn't be installed much. Also kinda curious how much actual flow through the filter with that arrangement.
