The oil pressure port in the main oil gallery could be opened up and re-tapped for a bigger fitting to put the oil downstream of the filter back into the engine.
Then a bypass filter could also be used in tandem with the full flow to actually clean up the oil, using something like the Frantz toilet paper filter to do an effective job of filtering. Jerry
