oily problem

I just put a 87 460 in a 82 bronco and im having clearance problems with the oil filter / mount and the cross member.

Do i have any other choices besides a remote mount filter kit?

I went out and looked at my nephew's Bronco and my F250. Seems like the remote mount would be the best way to go. You get an extra quart capacity with most kits and you can mount the filter in a very accessible location. It may be a positive move.

It incorporates an oil cooler as well which is a positive. 460's tend to run a little hot in my experience and an adequate transmission cooler and oil cooler are big plusses.
