Check this out...I found some interesting info looking at the WIX site and copy/pasted it below... coincidentally it proves that the filters are interchangeable(as well as the M-108 and M-110)
The Filter from my 4.0L truck actually is bigger,and has a higher burst pressure.Also from I understand about the beta ratio,it filters better too,unless I am mistaken.
I guess I will buy a case of these to go on my truck and a VE,or my track car that has a DE with a VE filter mount.
