docjim Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I've got a GM 350 in my late 74 260z. the oil filter sits right on top of the frame rail and a real chore to change. what do you suggest for a remote filter assembly and where to put it? Thanks, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3VO 3VOM Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 What kind of 350 are you running? Or what style of mounts are you running that the filter is sitting on top of the frame rail? I've never heard of this problem before. Either way you can just buy one and fit it where ever you see fit. GM performance made one I think. Rock auto has a reproduction/knock off of this last time I checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1969honda Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Kinda spendy, but try an adapter like this if you're right on top of the rail and then run hoses to a filter head and throw a cooler in-line while your at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinpieces Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) I was concerned about exhaust heat affecting my oil cooling and the messy oil changes. This is how I did a remote oil filter on a sb 350 Edited September 4, 2015 by Zinpieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyvette Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Zinpieces thanks for posting the clear pictures of the oil filter relocation. Its always rather amazing to me when I find guys who have for decades been forced to temporarily remove sone component like the headers to allow access to remove an oil filter during and oil change when theres been the readily available option to mount a remote mount single or dual oil filter in a far easier ro access location, and the obvious option of adding an oil cooler or dual flow oil cooler and transmission fluid cooler. a little careful meassuring and thinking things through, and some careful shopping for adapters will generally allow you to relocate the oil filter and use a significantly longer and/or larger oil filter than could originally be installed, thus reducing the restriction to oil flow by significantly increasing the area of the filter medium surface,and adding a couple magnets to the instalation will generally help trap metalic debris http://garage.grumpysperformance.com/index.php?threads/oil-system-mods-that-help.2187/SmCo Samarium Cobalt Disc Magnetshttp://www.magnet4less.com/ http://www.magnet4less.com/product_info.php?cPath=3_27&products_id=254 http://garage.grumpysperformance.com/index.php?threads/whats-a-windage-tray-do.64/ http://garage.grumpysperformance.com/index.php?threads/oil-system-mods-that-help.2187/High Temp Samarium SmCo Cobalt Magnet Discs572°F Maximum Operating Temperature Edited September 17, 2015 by grumpyvette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docjim Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Zinpieces, what brand of system is shown. I really like the fittings and braided hoses. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
