I didn't like this oprion. It is how the car was purchased and bottom end was shot due to the angle it was sitting on. So I optted to lower the engine into the engine bay for a better angle.

Thanks for the imput

Thanks Ludacrus ,

but its the actuall housing that hits and not the filter itself.

Thanks for the imput

the housing that needs to be moved has the check valve ect.

What I would have to do , is make 2 plates to the shape of the gasket , fit fittings ether end , bolt one to the pump housing , the other to the block and run hp lines in bitween .

I am fairly confident it would work lol
