I'm really tired of fighting the headers to change my oil filter and I'm going to relocate it to the motor plate.

I have a Hamburger's spin-on adapter...

...and a Hamburger's oil filter mount...


Now for the the plumbing question. Can I just use the "out" from the adapter to the mount and from there directly to the front of the engine block and plug the "in" in the adapter? It's already drilled and tapped in the front of the block but is plugged right now by a NPT plug.

I'm not really sure if this is the preferred way to do it or if I should route the hose back to the adapter? It would make a much cleaner install if it's possible to route directly to the front of the block...

Any input on this is greatly appreciated!
