You guys may also want to consider a Mocal sandwich adapter with bypass. I goes right on the side of the block and then the filter on it. It has a thermosticaly controlled bypass that allows
oil to go to cooler and then back to filter. Very compact and only $85. I needed a shorter filter so I use a mobil one high efficency/flow that is approx 2" shorter. Simplifies hoses, fittings and works great.
