Thats what I would like to use but I cant get anyone to cross reference the filter I have now which is a STP S3531. The original filter no long works on my car since I installed the UPR K member so I was told about this filter but would like to know which one it crosses to in a motorcraft.

Motorcraft, Mobil 1, K&N Gold are all good oil filters IMO.

There's nothing wrong with Fram or Purolator filters either, but their core isn't built as strong as the others.

Purolator is fine, Fram is not anything that will go near my engine.

Seen tests, seen them cut open, they fail.

Try one of the filter relocation kits from Maximum Motorsports and you will be able to use the bigger FL-1HP.

For the money, the Motorcraft filter cannot be beat. It is a exceptional filter that I would easily pay $10 for. Ford wouldn't recommend it unless they knew it does the job well. If I cannot get a Motorcraft I usually spring for the Mobil 1 filter. The M1 filter is made of sythetic fibers etc. and probably is the best one for race applications. I suggest you try the Mobil1 filter before buying a relocation kit. The Mobil1 is considerably shorter than the Motorcraft, etc. and I am fairly confident that it will work with your setup.
