Does anyone know if there's a remote filter kit available? I'd like to be able to use a normal screw-on filter as well as get it away from the steering box.
You can see a remote oil filter in a couple pictures in my gallery. I ended up going to Autozone and had them order a universal. Works fine. Just figure out where you will mount it. In my case there were surprisingly few options.
The kits consist of two main components. A bypass adapter that screws to the block where the oil filter used to go, and the remote piece that actually holds the filter.

Howdy,
Well as isolated as you are on Vashon.....(do you even have electricity?)
You can still probably trek on over to Williams Oil Filter Service Co In Tacoma and they might be able to order one.
It should be the same mounting as nearly any older Ford engine. They can also make up the all the connecting hoses too.
I am using the remote filter mount #15 & 16 that I removed from my previous OMC King Cobra 460 V-8 that I removed from my boat a few years ago. It used exactly the same size filter mount.

Depending on how and where you mount your filter, you also might not need a filter that has an anti-drainback valve inside.
I don't have any pictures of it yet but I will. I'll probably also put an air-oil cooler inline too....
