oil system mod checklist (possible faq?)

been searching around, tons of info turning up, but i still had a few questions; i want to make sure i order everything i need so i dont end up with a halfway installed setup.

ive found that the KA oil filter uses a 3/4 -16 thread, and should be able to use this type of filter relocation block

i planned to follow that up with one of these

then into somthing like this

then back into the motor.

hose i would get from autozone or whatever.

these prices kindof suck, need to shop around more, but i only searched for items with buy it now so i could post an actual price. i figure this way i can relocate my filter to an easier to reach place, add another filter, add a cooler, and pump up my oil capacity, for roughly 150$ shipped (or less after shopping around).

i know barbed fittings and worm gear clamps arent the best but i figure a lot of guys have to use this stuff and i havent read much about catastrophic failure. i did read one thing about a guy not getting a good seal on one of the hoses and getting some air bubbles into the oil and somehow fucking somthing up, but that only turned up once.

sticking with the 1/2" fittings on everything will simplify stuff if i decide to switch to stainless hose and aluminum fittings later. no confusing adapters and other bs.

planned to put the oil filters in the space where my battery used to be, or on the side of the shock tower, near the fuel filter. oil cooler would go where the grill used to be.

does this sound good? am i missing anything?
