  1. 237's are transplants. I did some research into converting my END-673 to spin-ons, but had to replace it before that with the 237. It was pretty straight forward with the filter housing bolting directly to the oil filter pad. Port alignment was not an issue and there are several gaskets available to line it up. I was looking to do it because the filter elements were getting harder to find. Another plus is that there are no external oil lines to route or worry about. Filters can also be had that are shorter in length to get you around clearance issues.

  2. My concern with that last photo would be flow volume through it to supply the block/turbo. Additionally, getting replacement filters for that unit.

    It might be worth it to scrounge around and find a triple filter arrangement off an ENDT-675 with the spin-on filters. It would make servicing the engine a lot easier. This is the arrangement on my 675(237) that’s in my B42.

  3. It is a shame. But these trucks had a hard life and most were used up and discarded when they could no longer be economically repaired. It would be nice if some of the more “exotic” factory builds had survived. Looking at that list, there’s a lot of low volume numbers showing specific builds for a customer.
