Patrick--

I am one who appreciates your enthusism----you have have a very nice car and you go to great lengths to maintain it and share your experience with others---but--if you would just look at some of the rough edges of what you have done, you would either pick up points at a car show/event or at the very least eliminate some of the points that would be taken away if you get in a close run for an award.

Hope maybe that helps to explain where my comment is coming from

You got to raise your standards and leave out the term "this year" Life is lived day to day

Did you ever straighten out the routing of your spark plug wires?

That's right after I fix my handbrake, which partially works, but not on a hill.

If you have a copy of "40 Years of Cobras" there is a gorgeous photo of a 427 standing alone and it shows a good view of the pump mounted remote oil filter.

I haven't seen it adapted to a small block but I plan to on my 351. If you use an Edlebrock water pump, it has tapped bosses that a fabricated mounting plate could be attached to.

Will the finishline oil filter mount also fit the 302 water pump?

No. The FE bracket for the remote oil filter is totally different than what would fit a small block.
However, see my previous posing.

I mounted mine on a Windsor on the front of the driver's side cylinder head. It is mounted on a piece of aluminum plate that stands out ahead of the cylinder head. The plate is attached with 3 studs using pieces of pipe as spacers.

There are a couple of pictures on page 2 of my gallery.
