I will be using the Saginaw 4 speed.

I kind of think like "CatDog", but I was not sure that they would give better support or not. They just looked like they would support better to me.
I may check into fabricating the mounts and add some sort of bracket that would mount the oil filter with it so that it would be attached to the block in some manner, just as if it were bolted to the block ??? I have visions of some sort of "L" bracket that would point towards the back. ??
Thanks for all your input. If anyone knows where these side mount bracket are sold, let me know.
It would help somewhat to have one in order to frabricate new modified ones.

Thanks,
Ed
