We have different chassis and engines, but if your remote filter is attached to the front left head, my plan should work for you. The basic element is to use a combination of Aeroquip fittings to connect the outflow of the filter bracket to the engine-inflow port of the thermostat, then fab a bracket that supports it well in that location, with some adjustment wiggle.

The only part I dread is fabbing new hoses - I can never seem to get a proper connection into AN fittings! :P
