honestly I have to wonder at times when I get some of the questions I see posted, why do some guys think that solving minor problems are not a totally normal component of any engine modification process?
anytime you start re-arranging and modifying a car in some way there is bound to be compromises or changes being made that will require other changes, more horsepower WILL require better cooling larger brakes and a stronger more durable drive train, a larger engine will generate more heat and require an improved fuel and exhaust system, its just part of the process and expected, you learn too solve problem that in some cases YOU caused with previous mods you did, its just a fundamental part of the hobby.
I got a call fro m a guy who installed a 7 quart baffled oil pan and long tube headers on his corvette and know finds he will need to remove the headers to take off the original oil filter hes used for years before he can do oil changes, and hes panicking ! I have to GRIN! that's almost to be expected and the common cure is an adapter plate and a remote mounted oil filter.
you gentlemen are aware , there's a solution,?
If you want a remote mount oil filter these parts will get you a good start

one huge advantage of the remote filter mount option is the option to use one or two far larger oil filters and mount them where they are easy to access.
