Different engine, but here is a picture of just that:

The large white filter on the left is full flow, and has 1" lines to and from it. The black filter on the far right is a bypass filter, it gets pressure from the outlet of the full flow filter, and returns very clean oil to the engine via an extra dipstick hole.
