Oil filter relocation?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I did a search and came up with some good info but all the pictures showed X's. Who here is using a relocation kit? What kit? Any pictures? Anyone have the kit and not relocate the battery?

to do oil filter relo, you have to re route your coolant also since its the same assembly. This is the one I used and installed last weekend got it from summit. the fittings come with -12 and my oil adapter is a -10 so I changed from the moroso -10 o-ring / -12 AN to -10 o-ring / -10AN and ran my lines. I got a smooth -16 fitting so that I could just slip on a normal hose. I also used a metal flex hose from autozone. I used a perma-cool remote oil kit and made my own lines. be aware of the oil filter fitting one of them is like 13/16 and the other is smaller. get the smaller because the filters are cheaper and more popular.

make sure you get a shorter set of allen head screws from your local hardware store, because the one's that come in the kit are waaaay to long. also get a new gasket from ford that are BLUE not RED/ORANGE the red/orange one doesn't seal right. you'll know what I'm talking about with you go to purchase it.

Plan to take out your PS pump and move those lines around. because its a PITA to get to the screws.
