But honestly I would do the tune work first before going any further.
Well I'm going to do the tune but either way I'd like to run an oil cooler so that part of all of this is not effort wasted. I called Brett yesterday but he said he is too busy to do work like this. Otherwise I'm sure he could make the part.

No I don't think the Mocal would work at least not if I don't want the lines next to the headers. I guess it would be mostly metal next to the header but both fittings would be up against or near the headers.





Because of the kick out of the pan I would love the custom adapter above. If I use the Champ or Canton adapter for steel pans that replaces the oil filter adapter the lines would have to run out alongside the kick out (where the Autokraft sticker is). Still farther from the headers than my current setup but not as ideal as being able to get them above the kick out tucked into the pan.
