It is a little fancier than it needs to be, but this is the setup on my race engine. I am not a big fan of the upside down oil filter either.

Should I use an adapter and hoses like a transdapt kit or should I find a Australian style oil pump ?? Thanks |

I have never seen an Aussie style pump.how is it different from the slant 6 oil pump that I have gotten used to seeing? |

Cut oil filter location from regular pump and thread an-fittings to passages. Then you have aussie pump. |

Hey, Don! https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=ht ... egUIARCUAg It was done that way because the Aussies drive on the left side, with left hand drive, and have a steering column running right down where the oil filter would need space. DOH! Just re-read this, and realized I wrote "left hand drive", when it should have been "right hand drive". Sorry for the senior moment, folks. Roger |

Is there any particular reason you want to relocate the oil filter? |

Not really a particular reason other then the mess at oil change and figured a remote setup I could run single or duel filter I don’t like the adapter so the Aussie pump had my attention |

I too thought of cutting off the flange but I think threading in another fitting is going to restrict it and may crack the housing. I would probably weld a small piece of 1/2" plate to pump and tap that to a larger size. |
