Toby's got exactly the right idea here, but this CAN be done without cutting 
into the fan housing at all. It may require grinding off some of the excess 
material from the middle elbow where the oil re-enters the case, but there is 
plenty of extra metal there and you'll notice that Berg has already done 
something similar on the pump cover fitting.

I mount the filter base partway out on the rear mount crossbar, but I have to 
fabricate rather intricate plumbing to connect to the hose fittings. I also 
haven't bothered with the thermal valve, external cooler, and extra plumbing 
that Toby has there.

My engines are stock displacement, so normal cooling is fine. I like having 
the filter on the crossbar, because it means that all the plumbing goes in and 
out of the car with the engine, so it can all be fitted on the bench.

Someday I need to take some pictures....
