I think I understand what you mean, not the relocation kits where you end up running lines to a filter block elsewhere though right?

Is this potentially what you are looking for?

Ford Racing M-6880-A50 Ford Racing Oil Filter Adapter

It says to rotate towards the front of the engine but it seems like you could mount it to point towards the ground thus giving you the location you are looking for.

I think the 5.0 Explorers/Mountaineers had a 90* oil filter adapter. An oil to water oil cooler too.
