Ls1 oil filter relocation kit

[tweak]

Hi all.  I recently added the stock FC oil cooler back using a oil filter pedestal sammich, and now my oil filter is the lowest thing on the car by a good 3 inches.  I have already crushed it a bit just driving around normally.  I am looking at some oil filter relocation kits like,

and the ones from Canton that are very expensive. 

Does anybody have any experience or ideas on this subject? 

Thanks,

Can you use a shorter filter?

I looked into the shorter filters, but they are not THAT much shorter.  I would have to have like a 1/2 filter.   I am fine paying for a nice filter re locator.  I need to add an accusump anyways.

How about cooler lines instead of the sandwich adapter.  I found these being used in a first gen swap in ls1tech:

I am using this proflow adapter and AN hoses myself for my LS swap:

To be clear I already have the oil cooler installed and working fine, I just want to relocate the filter.

So you want to keep using a spin-on adapter with a pass through for the filter?  Aka a sandwich plate?

That clearly doesn't work on LS's, for the exact reasons you already found ~ the oil filter will get demolished and you'll pop the motor.

You need a oil filter relocation kit that you can plumb a remote filter mount into.  LPI racing sells the same ones I use, and I believe they're a site sponsor (I'm not, yet)

I use the billet 90* adapter and the billet remote oil filter mount with 3/4-16" threads for my Amsoil EAO15 racing oil filters.
