I had also looked at making a new plate to mount to engine block that has a couple AN fittings and then remote mount it to the back of the block a little higher using the two mounting bosses just below the side cover. I do not recall them being used for anything. That would be the simplest way and I could just do that at home.

Excellent alternative. Might work even better.

Dad made me a little something for my birthday using your idea and plans Esteban, thank you! I have used different colored wires to show the flow of oil through the adapter.

Beautiful work! Congratulate your dad for his excellent and detailed job. :bow-yellow: :bow-yellow: :bow-yellow:

The color coded wires are a great idea to show why the adapter is needed. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Hi… found your thread regarding the spin on oil filter adapter. Do you by chance have any of these for sale? If not, do you have a set of drawings or designs I could take to my machinist so he could make one? Thanks in advance 👍
