I have a 460 Van 90 degree filter adapter on mine (forgot to mention that) will fit a small block too just take out the nipple in the block that the filter screws onto.Don't really like the relocator kits,too many hoses to fail and clutter things up.
I was told that you can also use a adapter housing off a older v6 ranger but i have never tried it.

Unless she's just a teeny tiny, petite type woman, she can learn to drive it. Both my old '65 and the '66 I have now are manual steering -- I'm not a "strong" girl by any means -- and I do just fine driving mine. I just make sure to not park it somewhere I can't get it out.
Love that Merc, man. Very nice and it looks awesome with the big and littles. The vid was cool, too. Is the guy in the Malibu running a line lock or a trans brake?
