I went with the baldwin B1441 for my 454s. Picked that because of the excellent rating given in that review and because it has a pressure bypass valve integral. Used to use the PF1218.

Long filters are preferable due to their increased filtering surfaces. Be sure and get the HP versions that have the anti-syphon capability so the filter doesn't drain while sitting, creating a dry filter start.

Be aware --- The Mobil 1 M1-302 and many other of the tall filters listed here WILL NOT fit the 454 and 502 Magnums from the mid-late 90s that have the remote filter mounted to the exhaust manifold. There is not enough room between the manifold and the filter to fit these taller filters. Mercury flipped it over in the late 90s allowing umlimited room.
