The oil gallley is the forward one behind the oil pump. You will need to drill and tap the block in the area of the block that sticks out where the oil pump bolts. If you remove your oil pump you will see the 1/2" oil galley to the engine from the pump. Drill two holes that will be tapped with a 1/4" NPT and between them install a 1/2" b;ock off plug. This will divert the oil to a remote filter and then back to the engune.
I would look this over very seriously before I would attempt this because you can ruin your block if it is not done properly. Take good neasurements, use good tools, and have good help!
