Any recommendations on an oil filter relocation kit? Tired of saturating my front diff every time I change the oil. The drop brackets from the lift are preventing me from getting a funnel close enough to catch anything. I can see the benefit of keeping everything lubricated, but this is ridiculous. LOL. Checking out several kits on JEGS, Summit, ebay, etc.. what works for y'all?

Guy I bought my throttle body from gave me a relocation kit for free. He said ill need to go swap all the fittings out for brass fittings and stuff to prevent leaks. I took it juat in case but its been collecting dust in the garage ever since.

The TransDapt 969-1227 dual filter kit for $80 is looking pretty good to me. I need to take some measurements and see if 30"s of line will put me at a good location. I really like the idea of dual filtration. I run mobile 1 extended performance with a quart of Lucas synthetic stabilizer so it would make sense to have more filtration for longer periods of time between oil changes.

Seems like Teflon tape or rector seal would be adequate to prevent leaks. Probably more favorably the rector seal. Good for higher temps.

Like that location Jferg. Makes for some easy changes. Ever have any problem with road debris hitting it?

I wouldn't run it in that location just due to debris.
I'm also afraid to mount my aux trans cooler and eventually my heat exchanger since they both will have thermostat controlled efans and I collect a lot of snow and ice pack in the winter months..

Any torque converter recommendations for my set up? Just got a new one in with trans rebuild but its got stock stall 1600-1800 I think. Also decided on staying with stock 24lb injectors.

You gonna be running it at the track or DD? If its primarily street I would run a stock lock up. Breaking the tires loose starting out on wet pavement is lots of fun, but frowned upon by the boys in blue.
