First of all my sincere apologies for not having supplied complete information regarding the oil filter / circuit set up.
The flathead has been bored and tapped for free / full flow oil filter system ( more like 70% ).
The beehive case was customised with bigger entry and exit ports, larger diameter dispersing rod with 20 holes, by a gentleman recommended on the Ford Barn approx. 10 years ago. Unfortunately i cannot recall his name.
A standard off the shelf Beehive cannot be used for this system.

I could have used the spin on oil filter with bypass by Hildebrand, but did not find it as aesthetic and period correct as the beehive. The option of modifying an original vintage Filcoolator was dropped due to possible material issues from age and usage.

The set up / connection to the blocks ports is fairly simple as depicted in the diagram.

Thank you for everybodys input and pointing out the danger of inadequate oil flow with the wrong choice of oil filter.
Now i have to find the correct vintage matching oil pressure sender and gauge (US made), since i dont want to use the current SW products.
