Took a pic for you if it helps.

Find a good billet aluminum filter housing... the cheap die cast ones are prone to leakage.

Don't use the std. cast 90 degree AN fittings... they increase pressure. I blew the block adaptor off the engine three times before I got a hydraulic professional to tell me the correct way to plumb the filter. Use the tube style with the nice radius.

Push loc AN style fittings will work good.

I'm also toying with the idea of installing a drip pan of sorts between the remote filter fitting and the inner fender, to catch all of the last oil dribbles when cracking the filter. If I can figure out a little pan for under there, I'd even fit a drain hose to it to catch the oil below somewhere.

So here is my answer to the age-old question of remote filter locations.

I sandblasted an old magnetic parts tray and added a drain tube with a 1/4" brake line and some JB Weld. With a bit of extra effort, I was even able to include a couple of factory-correct paint runs.

Now I can loosen the oil filter and just let the oil run down the drain into the oil bucket on the floor. A quick wipe of the pan and maybe a glass of warm soapy water to rinse it all clean. No rags, bags, buckets, jugs, puddles, dribbles or bad language.

Oh yeah, and it can even double as a parts tray!
