Steve,
Try calling GODMAN HI-PERFORMANCE in Memphis. Their number is,
1-800-456-2369. They carry remote oil filter parts that will allow you to
move the filter set up where ever you need it. I noticed Ford engines list
the 260, 289, 302, and just about all the V8's made by Ford. I've bought
from them before and was pleased with what I received. Think you will find
them knowledgable and helpful.
