I solved the adapter problem by welding a-16 directly to the housing and porting the -12 stock threaded port.
At this point I think that if this can flow and filter at their claimed levels with that design constriction I must be golden! More like golden flakes of metal after I went to change the oil after my first start-up.
The filter was located just before the dry sump tank and with its no by-pass and particle rating there should be No metal in the dry sump oil, instead it was full of particles large and small. Fail complete.
I took off the top of the oil filter housing and the end cap came off with it, after pulling out the rest of the filter i could see instantly what the issue was, the end caps were crudely stuck to the rest of the filter with clear sealant that was allowing big gaps for oil (and metal) to slide on by.
