I solved this problem for my former Perkins 4-107 with an adapter, available
at most auto parts stores. You screw it onto where the filter was, have a
couple hydraulic hoses made up, and mount  the new filter housing  onto the
back top of the block.  With it facing down, of course.  I will send you a
picture off list.

Calypso has a Perkins 4-108 with the oil filter side mounted, upside down.

 

I poke a hole in the bottom to drain the filter into a small container prior
to removing the filter.  A vent hole in the top helps the process.

 

It would be great to meet the design engineer and ask; What the H*#!L were
you thinking?

I haven't tried it myself, but I read many times in various forums about
making a hole on top of the oil filter with a screwdriver to drain the oil
from it.

Might be worth a try.
