Dennis,
I am not recommending a remote filter but you asked to see some photos of filters on the fender or on the firewall (that would be "remote").
As I said above, some people like to have the full-flow filter near the block (I have seen photos of the filter head attached to the block just above/below the oil pan).
Regarding oil line diameter, wait to hear from someone who knows about these things. My choice would be to have lines that match the diameter of your fittings on the converted 235 block. Your fittings will most likely be a smaller diameter than the 1/2" NPT fittings and lines that came from the factory on 58-62 261 truck blocks.
Woody,
Yes, there are dual exhausts on the 261 and one of the oil lines is right between them. The original oil lines on 58-62 261s had metal standoff tubes/pipes that were screwed into the block on both sides of the exhaust pipe (and allowed you to sleep better, knowing te rubber hoses were not near the exhaust pipe).
You can see the stand-off tubes in this photo.Summit Racing and
JEGS have a variety of filter heads. A few years ago, I saw a nice kit on a shelf at Pep Boys.
I will most likely make stand-off tubes when I put the original full-flow canister filter on the intake manifold.
