I have to run a remote filter with my block right now I have it mounted up inside the right fender at the top of the firewall.
The problem is when it sits for a day or 2 the oil runs back in the motor and it takes a lot to prime it again and I am running a Wix filter with a anti drainback valve.
The only other thing I can think of is lower the filter down even with the lines coming out of the block but this will put the filter on the firewall almost to the bottom right behind the front tire I dont really see a problem but though I would ask.
