Luke,
I might be talking out of my backside, but one of my 2.8 v6s came with what looks like the "oil filter relocation adapter" from the 24v. When I took this adapter off, I could simply screw on a standard filter on it's side just like the early 2.8s. Basically the 24v adapter seems to just bolt onto the normal filter plate using a special threaded "bolt".
You have a 24v engine and I don't, so you can tell better than me, but is it possible to just remove the relocation adaptor and say use the filter fitting from the 2.9 12v engine so that you don't need to modify the mounting ?
Cheers
Doug
