If your engine has been drilled for "full-flow" oiling the recommended remote base is a 3/4"X 16 thread which uses the Ford or Chrysler filters...such as the Puralator PL30001 filter with a built-in bypass valve. The oil flow has been reversed from the original flow and the pressure side out to the filter is now from the front port and the return is to the rear port.....just the opposite flow of the original stock setup.
If you did not drill your block for "full-flow" oiling you're going to have to use some stock sized lines (same diameter as the original flex lines) or you will loose volume and pressure.
On the modified full-flow system the oil flows from the pump to the filter before it goes to the bearings....hence, the need for a bypass should your filter become clogged.
On the stock system being routed to a relocation mount, you're going to need to use a reducers to go from the 1/2"NPT ports down to the 1/8 NPT fitting line.
Which ever way you went, be sure to fill the new replacement filter on the bench until it is completely filled and absorbed all the oil it can hold. Starting up either system without doing this is going to have an adverse effect on oil pressure and undoubtedly take it's toll on the rotating assembly.
