RAC1812,

I did something similar to what Truckedup describes (but I mounted the remote filter on the firewall). The original, polished-brass fittings are impressive and worth trying to save/use.

I do not have the metal "standoffs" on the block side of the oil lines and have had no problems (but they are a good idea).
