Packard V8, I'm not so sure that's a good idea, though I have no personal experience with it. It may result in an improved %-age of the oil being filtered, but I'd think that removing the filter from it's factory location could have the effect of lowering the oil pressure throughout the system. My thinking in saying this is that the filter is essentially a final restriction, after which it's just a gravity dump back into the crankcase. Removing the restriction may lower pressure.
