Oil Filter Relocation

I plumbed mine directly into the block so as to not have any adapters to possibly leak. I did it with push-loc fittings which work ok but aren't the easiest to get off. In fact you have to cut the hose to get it off. When I get the new engine done I'm going to switch to braided lines with AN fittings. I can think of no negatives at all. The filter is right out there in the open and easy to get at. No more problem spilling oil onto the header when doing an oil change. Not only does it not leak but it don't even seep whatsoever. I love it. Here's a couple of pics. I have since switched to a different type of hose. The first stuff in the pictures I put on was all I could find at first and I thought it looked ratty. I later found some hose that looks just like fuel line except it's hydraulic hose so it works great and looks much better.
