Will any of the later remote oil filter adapters fit the Y-Block? Chuck

I think so, as long as you have the spin on filter adapter, I see no reason that they wouldn't work. Ford had a right angle filter adapter, I think it was used on some H/D trucks.

The remote setup requires a bypass adaptor for the block which attaches to your existing spinon adaptor, and the actual remote filter holder which is mounted wherever you choose.  Quite a few suppliers have them.  Speedway, AutoZone, and others.  Mine is a Haynes that came from Autozone.  Make sure the hoses going from the bypass to the oil filter recepticle are high pressure, hydraulic rated.  Not run of the mill water heater hose.  Speedway has the hose in either blue or black.

Which bypass adapter? If I remember correctly the SBF 289/302 ones work. Don't want to buy the wrong thing! Chuck

This Speedway bypass #7201013 would work, or any bypass with the 3/4 "-16 thread.  Many Ford motors use the same one.  FYI the Haynes unit has two options on the same bypass for hose attachment.  One with hoses running roughly parallel to block, and the other has the hoses going straight out from the block.  You just plug the two that arent used.  It gives a little more flexibility.
