Built my own filter relocation kit.

After initially ordering parts to upgrade my oil lines to 10 AN, I discovered my GTM filter relocation kit was 8AN and the adapter plate was passable at best. The filter mount was cast trash. I was already unhappy with the Mocal unit. It just felt bare minimum and all these oil kits use it. I don't like it.
I decided to put together my own. I used Improved Racing in Orlando for nearly everything except two fittings and the 3ft lines I had made weeks earlier. Reason I went with them is their billet oil blocks are the best I saw anywhere. They make stuff for LS motors, but used two of their universal blocks with success. Only bad is that it doesn't seal well against the OEM oil cooler. I deleted it.

Two lines were 3ft each, with one side a 90° on both
Other two lines were 16 and 20" with one side 90° on both.
Two full flow 90° semi swivel (ORB) to 10 AN male
Two full flow 90° full swivel female 10 AN to male
Four ORB to 10 AN fittings
Two M22 to 10 AN fittings for the oil cooler
Improved Racing remote filter adapter
Improved Racing Thermostatic Remote filter mounting plate
Ford Ecoboost V6 filter (now uses M22 sized filters)

I mounted the filter in the driver side core support. Overall fitment was surprisingly good and didn't buy too much line. Replacing the oil filter is just peeling back a fender liner. For a 34 row, I'd do 90° fittings on both ends of a pair of lines and the lines would be longer. I imagine if the existing lines are 10 AN, they can be used if you already have an oil cooler.

The real test is if it fits with the supercharger, so I'll update after I complete the install. All together, I probably spent close to $850 total. I'm hoping this improves oil flow and cooling efficiency since I am supercharging the car and she sees track time.
