I prefer to use a sandwich type thermostat, and keep the filter in the stock location. That keeps your oil connections to a minimum.

I wouldn't use anything but AN lines and fittings for any external oil conenctions.
Thanks bobcowan.
I agree with you as far as keeping less connection. Not only that, but a cleaner look. My only problem is do I have enough clearance from the engine block and the frame to fit that sandwich plate and the filter.
If you had done that in yours you will know.
I have a 351w and have just about 5.5-6 inchase of clearance.
