Oil Filter for 2001, 5.3
Buying oil & filter at parts store, the guy brought out tiny ac delo, think it was a 46....
Told him I wanted the large 61 and he said it was WRONG, wasn't listed in computer...
I looked under car and am sure that is what I've been using....am I ok?

So you have about 4 1/2 inches of clearance.

A couple of points:
longer, clearance wise won't be too much of an issue if you are only highway driving and if it doesn't contact any frame parts while the engine moves within the frame mounting (yes the engine and tranny need room to move/flex within the frame)
Check the specs on the 2 filters to ensure the "features" are the same i.e. anti-drain back, clogged/blocked by-pass feature, rated for gas engines
