Or do I need to put an oil filter relocation kit on it?
There are two types of FE oil filter adapters.
1) Filter mounts vertically (Passenger Cars).
2) Filter mounts horizontally (1965/76 F100/350).
Passenger Car type shouldn't be used on F100/350's, because when (not if!) the left rubber insulator breaks (common), the filter will hit the engine crossmember, splitting it open.
* Not pleasant!

Both the oil pressure and warning (idiot) light sending units thread into this adapter.

1975/78 Mustang II: Ford "shoehorned" the 302 into the engine compartment, had to use this
shorter FL-300 oil filter. There wasn't enough space between the crossmember and adapter to install the
longer FL-1A
