REMOTELY MOUNTED OIL FILTER

A remotely mounted oil filter was needed after I reworked the headers to clear the larger 7 qt oil pan. I used a Trans Dapt Performance Products #1022 spin on oil filter bypass adapter (13/16-16 thread), a Perma Cool #1791 remote oil filter mount, Aeroquip #10AN braided hoses, and a Fram HP-4 filter. The filter is mounted behind the right front tire on the bottom of the firewall, tucked up inside the frame. The HP series of filters flow a lot more oil than stock filters. The oil line plumbing has changed since this picture was taken... not shown are the Mocal oil cooler and oil thermostat.

One other tip... examine your spin on oil filter bypass adapter - the 13/16-16 threaded center hole on mine was not machined 90 degrees to the flat sealing surface, making it difficult to seal. I removed the sealing 0-ring and sanded the base at an angle untill the surface was true.
