Do we have to buy it to see what part number it is?

Hi there. These are being obtained from Amazon inventory so we don’t have a lot of information. Here it is on Amazon. There may be more information there.

It was posted above your post. I’ll add it to the sale page.

This would be a 51515 filter, yes.

The part number listed is the international wix number as far as I can tell.

Note on Use

Some people use the Wix 51515 as an oversized replacement for smaller filters (like PH3614 or Wix 51348), when there’s room and the bypass pressure is compatible — often in racing or performance applications for increased filtration and oil capacity.

If memory serves me correct, these also fit 383 and 440 Mopar big blocks. In for three.
