best remote oil filter setup

[aggiedave98]

I have a 2002 Starcraft with the 5.0L carb'ed engine. It's almost impossible to get my oil filter off. I want to put in a relocating kit. Any suggestions? Any suggestions on where to mount it? Would it help if I took a pic of the engine?

Transdapt / Hayden are common

(assuming your 5.0 is a GM based unit).

you can make a bracket to mount off your manifold, or you can mount it to the side of your bilge.

Ayuh,... So long as it's a GM based motor, Volvo don't matter...

Yep pictures always help. Pretty sure it doesn't make any difference where you mount it so long as the filter sits vertical, or near vertical, and so long as you route your hoses away from any vibrating or moving engine parts. If you have to run a hose and it rests on a vibrating engine part get the next size bigger hose, slit it and wrap it around your oil hose. Also, wherever you mount it should be strong enough to withstand the twisting of tightening and loosening the filter.
I've mounted pllenty of Amsoil Dual Remote filters in my life, , ya just have to be creative.
