Guys....watch those block style 90deg fittings....they're tough on the oil flow. Bent tube 90's are ideal. |

Good point regarding the 90º fitting and flow.
Chris, your engine looks AWESOME! Good job.
Personally, I've always preferred the oil filter to be in the vertical position for servicing ease. Hope that you find a suitable location that works well for you.

 I use JayCee billet oil filter mont. I use the mounting holes for the bumper. That have worked perfect for me all years and it's easy to get the filter lose if you have to change it or clean it. |

What's wrong with them No leaks, most safe stuff you can use and safe for heat so I can't see anything wrong with them, And no they are not for plumbing they are hydraulics  |

No, nothing wrong with them at all.... It's just not something us Americans see very often. I'm amazazed I could point it out correctly! |

Traction Bar ?
excuse me for the OT but have you mounted the traction bar to the bumpers holes? i think to use a ball joint between the center of the traction bar and the center of the carter... |

Thanks for all the ideas!
I am not running a traction bar yet...so I think I will give the bumper brackets a try.
