Where/how to mount factory oil filter on a 59ab

[Merc Cruzer]

Maybe this will help...I added the second picture as it was pointed out the filter is on the wrong side. The second picture is of the same engine when I picked it up. I bought the engine originally just to take it apart and learn. I then sold it for the same price I bought it for....$300. Sorry for any confusion.

It is a nice picture of a 59AB but it is going to be confusing to the poster who asked where to mount the filter canister.This is definitely the wrong side, it could work but everything to supply and return the oil is on the other side,this would entail longer lines for what reason? The early 1946 Ford oil pans had the oil return fitting on the drivers side forward of the pan,this was later changed to the fitting now added to the dipstick boss to get returned oil closer to pump. The picture shows the special headnuts for oil filter canister if stock length studs are used.
