I've had mine fitted on the rad support since we fitted the oil accumulator in 2012. Never been an issue. You can just make out the billet mount to the right of the radiator.

I mounted mine behind the bumper with the bottom of the filter at the same height as the bottom of the bumper. Not a race car by any stretch, but it works and doesn't make a mess.

I mounted mine to the motor plate, above the oil pump and beside the water pump. No issues and very easy to change the filter. This a big block, race only E- body.
Brian Mine is in the same place.

Here's one I just did that is that sandwiches the motorplate between the OFA and the vacuum pump. It also happens to be accessible thru the K-member ears. HardcoreB, I like the way you did that.

Thanks Jim! It worked really well until i redid the plumbing, I flipped the engine over to get a better view of how I could reroute the lines and that's when I didn't notice 'the bottom port was now, the top port...that cost me pretty good. It had some non-typical packaging compromises but, again I like the fact that you dont have to remove oil lines if you pull the engine. On my own junk, i currently have it mounted to the frame because that was about the best choice considering everything.

Yea, I hear Ya. On my Daytona, I put a semi-permanant label on one of the remote filter lines that says, "top port" It saves time and avoids mistakes when I take the lines off the pump. OK... which port is the Inlet, and which the Outlet? ....
