[DeTomaso] Remote oil filter setup

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

Expanding on the posts so far, I also suggest that if one is running remote 
oil filter(s) WITH an oil heat exchanger, all on external oil lines that 
may not be real Aeroquip, you install and run your rig and carefully monitor 
oil pressure at the rear of the block. This is the stock place and gives you 
worst-case oil pressure after all the bearings etc. I would also use an 
accurate (i.e- non-stock) pressure gauge. With some rigs, it may pay to change 
your oil pump to a high volume pump to compensate for pumping losses through 
many feet of external hose and the two devices which are built with 
right-angle fittings. This is really the only reason to run a non-stock 351-C oil 
pump I can think of, short of going dry-sump. 
With my rig, the all-Aeroquip lines are short enough, and have real teflon 
inners so line friction is not an issue; my oil pressure with a completely 
stock pump is virtually the same as without the add-ons, even after many 
hours of hi-speed highway driving. But YMMV- J Deryke
