If I block off the filter pedestal with block off block, where is the oil inlet?

I got a aluminum block to block off where oil filter housing is. I can't use the side port because it doesn't clear the transmission tunnel.

When I completely block off the OEM oil filter pedestal, what's my option for alternative engine oil inlet? My oil pan is off if that helps. Thanks!!

Maybe look into a filter relocation bracket/pedestal as opposed to a block off plate???

Here's a idea of his space issues, the racing beat remote plate fit for this car, you think you have space problems wait till you fit the intakes, well unless your making a custom one

Just cut the fire wall and weld in a pocket to give you the space you need
