Remote oil filters

[jay260z]

Is anyone using remote oil filters with there sbc swaps to make filter changes easier?

My car has long tube headers witch run under the filter and its a royal pain to change the filter and not make a huge mess all over the header.

 

Im not sure what parts to buy if i do move the filter off the block, witch one of these would be a better choice of the two.

I did a remote oil filter, placed it on 45 degree angle, driver-side frame rail forward of the rack, just behind the radiator. Made oil changes a breeze and did allow a little more freedom in exhaust routing, not having to make room for oil filter changes.

Thats just about how im planing on mounting my oil filter. Should i to keep the bypass for the oil filter or remove it, thats the main thing im trying to figure out.

 

What filter mount did you use for your setup?

I used a trans-dapt filter relocation plate, NPT-AN adapter, -12 AN line to the cv products filter mount, from the mount to an oil cooler and from the oil cooler back to the engine.

I have the trans-dapt dual filter unit on the boys z. Look for a pressure drop from your original oil pressure reading. It makes changing oil alot easier but what I was looking for is that alcohol puts water, methanol in the crank case and the dual filter elements let me be more comfortable than I was with just one filter and changine it every race.
