OK, been thinking about how I am going to do a remote filter, oil cooler and an Accusump. It is a lot of hardware and plumbing. So, do not want to buy things that won't fit, so I made some mockups.
The Accusump I'm looking at is 4-1/4" x 16". I just happen to have a 4-1/4" by 20" tube that a print came in. And, for the oil cooler I cut up a box I had laying around and made a "box" the same size as the cooler. I put a 3/4" spacer between the "oil cooler" and the radiator. First picture is looking up from the driver's side. The two oil cooler fittings would be on the top and bottom facing us.

And here is a picture looking up from the passenger side.

View from the front at bumper level. Can't see the Accusump at all, you would be able to see parts of the oil cooler below the bumper and through the grill.

Looking up from ground level. I would center the Accusump, but the tube is kind of wedged in there and held up by duct tape...

Here is where I would put the remote filter adapter. The wipe container is about the same diameter as the filter and a few inches taller than the whole assembly. I would make a bracket that it bolts to that attaches to the bumper bracket or to the battery tray bolts above. I would also make a removable rock shield for it.

Looking up. The plumbing to the oil cooler would be short, maybe 12" since it is right next to the bumper bracket. You would be able to change the filter from the wheel well. Nothing below the filter for oil to drip on.

Different angle, since this is a 440, the oil filter is right there on this side and about 8" away. Lines from the pump to the filter housing would be about 12".

View looking through the valance opening from the front, it will be a very short run from here to the cooler. I can put a low pressure flap style check valve on the inlet side of the cooler to keep it from draining back and making a mess when swapping the filter since most of the cooler would be higher than the filter housing, it would also help prevent drain back when the engine is shut off.
