Remote oil filter location, any suggestions should be great.

I am considering swapping to the MAST pan, which appears to work, on paper at least, with my 4 inch crank and Holley swap components.

Are there any advantages the ATS pan offers over other options on the market to make it work keeping?

You could also check with Kurt at Autokraft for their oil pan. I recently installed their oil pan and Kurt is very nice to talk to and answers your questions.

Good question? I'm sure Blake could asnswer that one!
I'm way to ivestened turn back now. I don't mind the extra plumbing, just trying to find a spot that doesn't look like an after thought.

I tried what Blake's suggested. I would have to make a mounting Bracket of some sort. I'll just keep looking at it, till makes sense.

My previous remote oil filter set up was installed in the same location shown in your photos. Except my oil filter was installed inside engine bay in an upside position and the plumbing was underneath the fenderwell.

I'm just wodering if it would make more of a mess being upside down?
I was in the garage tonight and I think I came up with a pretty good Bracket design to support the weight of the remote filter, that attaches to the fender liner and rad support. The top of the filter would basically sit an 1" above the fender liner and it would be accessible from under the fender liner like in my second pictures. I'm going to mock up a bracket tomorrow and see how it looks.

I can't tell from your photos, but are you running some sort of rack & pinion steering that would keep you from bolting it to the driver's side inner frame behind the radiator? Looking at my car (without a radiator installed) there appears to be plenty of room there.

While I'm on that subject, that's a nice radiator. What company is that from?

Oh, and I spoke with Ben @ Speedtech yesterday. Two major advantages of this pan are the larger oil filter and the additional 1.5q oil capacity that goes along with it. If you go to the gallery on the Speedtech site, RedZed Reloaded has a few photos of the remote kit installed in that area, but that car has their extreme frame.

I'm running a stock subframe so my steering box takes up that spot.

The radiator is an Autorad setup.

I am talking about in front of your control arms. My steering box is behind the control arms, next to my headers.

On the second gens it's in front of the control arms.

Oy vey! I completely missed that. I made an assumption based on your screen name.

Yeah I think I'm stuck with that name. I sold that car a few years back

Short answer is yes. Pretty much the entire contents of the filter capacity will dump out before your able to get it out of the engine bay.
