Good progress! Not sure of your filter details, but I found a little shorty filter, NAPA Gold 1335, that is only about 3" long and fits the same base as the "standard" big Ford filter with 3/4x16 thread, ~4" diameter. Might not be the answer for you, but may be worth a quick look.

Thanks, Roger. I think Im going to go ahead and do a remote adapter just because the oil filter is right above the starter and its tough to get the filter out without getter oil all over it. Wix makes an adapter for it, I got one on the way. It looks like Im only going to have to take a few inches off of the deep part of the sump at this point. It's looking better; I cut out part of the firewall to move the motor back. I'll box it in once everything is where is going to stay. Drivers side wiill definitely need some fabrication on the header. This is right where I want it to sit so now it's time to build motor and trans mounts and figure out how the oil pan will have to be cut for tie rod clearance.
