Greg,
Have you seen my web page?  You can see where I've mounted mine, at the left 
rear bumper mount.  Your lines may reach but I purchased a 6" extension from GB 
to keep the tension down.  Yes, the location where yours is mounted is a bad 
spot as the heat from the exhaust will not help in cooling the oil.

My setup came with the Fram and the GB catalog even states that it comes with 
it.  Make sure the substitute filter can handle the pressure!

The filter they put on was most definitely *not*
the Fram HP1 that Berg sells.  Over the past couple of weeks I picked up an
HP1, a PH8A (regular FRAM, similar to HP1) and a little Bosch filter that
my FLAPS suggested.  Turns out that none of these ended up being quite
right for me.  Both the HP1 & the PH8A have large diameters that won't
clear the right angle hose fittings on the mount, and the HP1 extends
*very* close to the rear heater box on that side--it's quite a long filter.
The Bosch 72133 looks like its seal is a bit on the small side
diameter-wise, but will *just* do the job.  I've got that one on there now.
The shop that did the work never owned up to subbing filters (maybe the
mech. did it & the manager didn't know...), but suggested Bosch 72137.
