Tracy,
If you've got "big chunks" in the oil filter the filter location is the
least of your problems ;)
I doubt the angle adapter would mate up to a spin-on filter without some
machining (you'd
also need to install the threaded sleeve that holds the spin-on filter).
Use a good filter with an anti-drainback "valve." The Wix filters I use
can hold oil in the filter
for months; they wouldn't let much if any solids back into the engine.
