an adapter similar to this mounts where the oil filter originally goes on the block, (but verify the threads match) , two lines attached at the block adapter ,these lines go out to the components in the remounted filter and cooler circuit, the suction out side goes to an oil cooler like this
Image a line enters the cooler and a second one leaves the cooler and routes to the remote oil filter mount where the pressure line connects

an adapter like this is used where the filter mounts

one line goes in one side of the oil cooler the out line from the oil cooler goes to a remote filter mount adapter a line leaves that and goe to the other line on the adapter on the block where the filter used to mount completeing the circuit.

think of it as a circle, pressurized oil goes out thru the block adapter to the filter, next to the cooler and out of the cooler , it routes back to the suction side of the block adapter and back into the engine

it might clean up and pressure test but ID throw it in a dumpster and buy a new one before ID even THINK ABOUT using that even if I had to get a second job to do it.
long term durrability and having faith in a components condition are important factors in moding your car, that appears to be rather coraoded, possiably leaking

you'll generally have something like this replacing the oil filter at the stock location
Image
the oil pressure out line will flow thru a remote filter mount like this
Image
the out line gets routed to a thermostatically controlled valve like this that has four lines , two lines (feed and return) to the oil cooler mounted beyond it
and the pressure feed from the oil filter and the out line feeding oil back to the engine
Image
then to a cooler like this
Image


oil route

engine oil pressure out from old filter location>>>>>>>>>engine oil filter>>>>>>>>>thermostatic control valve>>>>>>>>>>>>oil cooler
engine oil passage and bearings <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<thermostatic control valve<<<<<<<<<<<<<oil cooler
