The only Delco filter I've seen that is consistently good is the PF2232 for a DuraMax. They'll work on a small block or a big block, but for the price you pay, you can buy a Wix, or a K&N, and K&N pays contingency.

By the time you buy bolts and pay to have them installed, then pay to recondition stock rods, you can buy a decent set of Eagle I-beam rods.
You're right. The PF 2232 is a good filter. I can buy them through the shop here for a good price. i use a Manley Sportsman rod now, and ,like you said, buy the time you buy rod cores, mag,x-ray.whatever, buy bolts, resize and do whatever they need, the good approved rod isn't too much more.that's new in a box, as well.
