anyone know where to get these? or how bout some of our dear miscellanous vendors start custom making some? :biglaugh:
would be a damn good investment, imo at least.

Oil Filter Relocation Kits....

HPF has one. But if you just purchase a gerneral install RMFK from summit, that will work fine. Just order one for a 5.slow mustang and you should be fine. the thread pitch you want to make it thread into the 7m block is 3/4"X16 I believe. And make sure it has some pretty tight 90s comming off the block so it doesn't hit the turbo outlet pipe, as it's a close fit.
You ever changed your oil filter?
Ours is behind the fog light now, and it's SO much easier.
Also this alows you to route a full flow oil cooler, and eliminate the factory oil filter mount which syphons any oil pressure above 40 psi, cools it and then dumps it into the pan. Our oil coolers were pretty much an after thought from the factory.
Oir oil goes from the block to the filter to a thermostatic oil control valve, to a B&M supercooler oil cooler, back to the thermostat and back to the block.
The car now holds 7.5 quarts of oil, and has gone over 5K miles without a hint of deterioration to the oil.

You also could use the PermCool Universal adaptor. It has ports on top and bottom.so you get a choice of plumbing options and yes, the thread is 3/4-16. Summit sells many choices and there is a guy on ebay who sells different remote mounts and oil cooler kits for cheap. His ID is "taylor" something of other. I agree, a remote filter mount is great. Add a dual mount for bypass filtering and it's even better. I'd steer well clear of using Fram filters though..
Hey IHI-RHC7, can you explain more about the oil flow paths in the stock filter mount? Does that port from the filter mount to the oil cooler have an internal check valve? I wanted to build oil pressure from an extenal source but when I tried to back pressurize it from the oil cooler I couldn't get any flow.

There's a guy on ebay that I bought a greddy gauge from, he sells the greddy oil relocation kit for $39.99. Heck of a deal.........
The control valve is only for an aftermarket oil cooler. It allows the oil to bypass the cooler until it gets up to temp.
Jetjock, the stock oil filter bracket has a pressure releif valve, so once 40 psi hits it, it pushes a piston against the spring and oil is routed around the filter and to the cooler. So yes, it is a kind of check valve.

Thanks. Now that you're using an external cooler and T stat setup, how did you handle the stock cooler pressure line on the filter mount? Did you simply blank it off or are you running the stock cooler also?
IHI, make up a diagram of that plumbing please....this is my next project with the car is a better oil cooler.
