RH drive car, looking for remote oil filter options
Jim,
Found this thread today and thought I can add a bit. I have an Aussie Charger with a 340 and the previous owner added a six-pack intake to the engine. As you can imagine, the oil filter was in the way. He reused the filter adapter from the top of the motor and moved it in the right side wheel well. The hoses used were just clamped onto some bent tubing and it leaked a bit... I more or less just kept the same arrangement but improved it. I took the pieces to a hydralic shop and sourced some 90 degree fittings for the block and straight fittings into the side of the adapter. I measured the old lines carefully and added some length where needed and had the shop make new lines. They had lines rated for 100PSI and for a few dollars more they "recommended" the upgrade to a better quality and higher pressure. 3K PSI... Good to know I can support a broke down bulldozer on the side of the highway if needed...lol.... I played around with the orientation of the side plate but ended up that using the 90 degree fittings they mostly wanted to play best in that location close to the bellhousing bolt. I'm not pulling the 4 speed anytime soon so I will just deal with the annoyance when the time comes.
