351W oil filter relocation kit?

1984 4x4 F150 351W.
Anyone here actually own an oil filter relocation kit for my truck that they LOVE?
I see all kinds of them but the reviews always have someone complaining about each one of them, fittings, quality, leaks, etc...
I ordered one from Jegs but I am expecting to change fittings before even installing it according to a reviewer. If I could find a great kit I'd send this one coming back..

There is just an adapter that puts it on a 90 degree angle from where it is at now. This way the filter wont dump oil all over your block and cross member. I had a re locator , but never could find a place in my Bronco to mount it.

I don't think this 90 degree adapter would help much. It seems like it would still dump oil over the crossmembers.

You can position it however you want. It rotates on the bolt that pulls it into the original adapter.

It appears no matter at what angle I'd turn it, it'd still be right above the cross member. Not making a difference.

The one on my 460 drools on the power steering loop at the front of the crossmember.

I just consider it rustproofing.
