My first inclination is to use the "sandwich" adapter for the filter, but I'm open to suggestions.

If I understand the path of the oil system correctly (that's a BIG "if" ), wouldn't it make more sense to ensure the flow of oil right above the pump isn't interrupted, rather than introducing the additional oil at the rear of the block after the lack of oil to the mains & rods would have happened?

One thing you dont want to do is use the oil sending unit hole... thats 1/8 pipe and wouldnt be enough supply if you did loose pressure

The front setup will also work but you have to keep the oil from flowing backwards to the filter. If the engine is apart then take the time to drill and tap to the largest fitting that will fit.

Hence you return any trash also. By using a 4 port remote filter you can use the same fed that supplies clean oil back into the system. if pressure fails your reserve enters at the best possible place Diretly into the mains home of the Sox and Martin Hemi Duster

The smaller 1/8 lines won't save your motor if the pickup runs dry or the oil pump quits...

That oil goes directly back into the main gallery if the pressure in the gallery drops. It is a very simple and direct arrangement.

moparniac master M Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 6,295 U.S.	I asked alot of questions over this last winter and fred helped me out alot! I'm glad I have the accumulator now... Not sure I'd feel comfortable with the small line in the back of the block. Brad here is a pic going to the front into a sandwich adapter! (10an/3qt unit) I added the oberg and put it up into the air stream also and like the filtration of it and easy to check whats going on in there whenever I want... I got tired of trying to figure out how to hide the thing and at the car shows everyone goes Wtfu... is that Mopar Performance

Best pass to the mains. the extra port remote filter because any oil discharged from the sump in a low pressure situation would be following the path exactly like camme from the pump.Then on the filter port I would be using #12 AN rather than #4 .
