oil filter

Can anyone tell me if there is a right angle (90 deg) oil filter adapter available for a 1996 5.8L to make oil filter changes less messy? I want the oil filter pointing towards the front. Would a remote oil filter be better? I am going to remove the silly stock oil cooler anyways.

Anything is possible. Don't know about the 90 degree adaptor but remote is always a viable option.

I also have the oil cooler and short filter. When changing I remove the air inlet tubes then slip a zip lock bag over the filter and remove the filter from the top. It is not quite as messy that way.
