Gunner,
The Canton thermostat upper/lower housing can be disassembled and the
oil cooler ports on the side of the housing rotated in 90 degree increments to each other.
On my car, I have the side ports ( in/out to the
oil cooler ) 180 degrees to each other. Much easier to route
oil cooler "in/out" lines and avoid 90 degree hose fittings. Got away with a straight-in, 180 degree fitting on one side and a 30 degree fitting on the other.
Goal was to avoid as many sharp turns (like 90's) as possible routing any of the oil lines.
Removing the radiator was necessary, and well worth the time, for this installation.
I have a few photos at my "gallery" that show how rotating the housing sections helped on my 289 FIA car.
Have fun.
Pete

Are the ports in the remote oil mount and filter converter all 1/2 NPT?
This is the repro remote filter setup as supplied by ERA with 707's build.
