I need some advise on oil filter relocation adapter. I don't have access to
a machine shop to make one, so I have to buy it. Mazdatrix sells one, "oil
block adapter $48.31"  but I want another opinion on it. Thanks.

Summit Racing sells them for $12.95 if you are talking about the remote
filter holder that mounts on the firewall. Just plumb the oil output
from the front cover to the filter holder and then to the oil cooler.

Which one is the oil output on the front cover?

See the picture below. It is the blue and red AN hose.

Mount it level with the top of the engine so all the oil does not
syphon out when you remove the filter.

All you need on the back of the block where the filter normally goes
is a bolted down flat plate With a groove that connects the two holes.
The groove can be made with a die grinder.

I can do this in the hangar on the drill press
I'm trying to reduce the height as much as possible and make space for the
intake manifold. That's why the plate idea is better. Thanks Paul.

You can do I what I just did but it is really tricky keeping the chips out
of the oil gallery. I am still not done as I am going to rig
the electric oil pump you sent me to flush the galleries. Best done when
the engine is disassembled.
