Here's what I did--used a standard remote spin-on filter mount to "pre-filter" the oil, then plumbed in one of these Oberg "sandwich" type filters to the outlet of the spin-on filter, then out of the Oberg back into the flow stream.

They have different size screens, but the most common is 60 microns.

In the end, I think it was overkill....it was a street car that never really saw over 5500 RPM. If I do it again, I think I'll deep-six the spin-on and just go with the Oberg. The Oberg model I used had a "tattle-tale" feature that I used to operate a little light on the gauge mount. If the light came on, that meant that the filter screen was plugged up and the "bypass" had become activated. I never saw the light....every time I changed the oil, I checked the screen, never once found any sort of debris on it. The spin-on filter was just a standard Fram.
