The adapter is called a "spin-on oil filter bypass adapter". Most auto parts stores should have them (about $16 bucks). You will also need a remote oil filter bracket for the oil filters new location. Of course the best way is to drill and tap the case for full flow, plug the outlet side of oil pump, and get a full flow pump cover, but is not fun (or wise) with engine together. And use a good quality hose for oil lines. Don't let the lines get to close to the header (for obvious reasons)
