 There is one third possibility, but it is one which would be obvious. The
early filters were mounted on the block, the late ones on the timing cover.
It
should be possible to use an early block with a blanking plate at the
filter
mount, along with a late front timing cover. There would be no great
advantage
in doing so, but if one had the parts and preferred the spin-on filter one
might do it.

I'm not sure that you could do this, because the shape of the joint between
the timing cover and the block  is different between the 1750 and the 2000,
this is obvious when you compare the gaskets.  Most importantly, the oilway
passes through the joint in a different place.   Have I explained this well
enough??
