Yes, I believe it is a very good modification. For the record, I
also believe that the following are also very good things:
Counterbalanced crank
Balanced engine components
Case savers
Late (dual relief valve) engine cases
Steel shims under the valve springs
Dual thrust cam bearings
swivel foot rocker adjusters
My first full flow engine went in my 68. I built up an engine on a
later case so I could have the larger oil passages and the rear mount
crossbar. I mounted the filter to the crossbar even though the bar
was only bolted to the engine (68 was the last year before IRS).
Later that same engine went into a 71 and the crossbar started doing
double duty.
