its ok i run headers on my 77 and oil filter is located in same stock location, and all is well.
If you want to look into an oil cooler. Headers on my car arent that tight around the filter to be honest with ya.

All depends on the headers. On my 77 TA, I could turn the filter but it would not fit between the frame and the headers/block. I had to take them loose to change the filter.

The Z-bar was a Bit*h!

Should run high 13's low 14's depending on traction and tuning.
