Sorry, 1998 Gen VI 502
So the outdrive reservoir is an easy relocation fix.
What have you guys done to address the oil filter relocation? It really appears to be the mounting bracket

I ran into this with EMI exhaust. I basically just chopped the oil filter mount off of the power steering pump bracket. Eddie marine sells a filter bracket for this but I made my own since they couldn't get me one fast enough. I had to make a custom hose for the filter to oil cooler using AN-8 hose. You could just add an extension to this hose though.

Got a few options. Was considering getting the mount from a 97 7.4l as that's what the exhaust fit perfectly. That one you posted might work too. Last option would be mounting to the transom like your last pic. Regardless looks like I'l be running new oil hoses at least.
Shoot me a PM with a price for that mount if you're selling it. Thanks
