the blocks are different because of the alloy adaptor under the cooler. some blocks have casting provision to drill and tap 4 holes and make a plate. otherwise, jsut work outwards from the alloy adaptor

no. you need to block off the coolant outlets. fit a gen2 3sge water pump housing.

and weld the feed on the bypass pipes.

Ok, So I have an Earls filter relocation and oil cooler kit. If I understand correctly, all I need to do is replace the oil bypass bolt with a shorter (5s) one?

If that's it, then damn, thanks so much!!

You sure can, you just need the shorter bolt thingo in the middle from a 5s then you can run an oil pick up off this for an AM cooler.

So I've been building my engine and I'm almost done. I have read that because my last engine ate a bearing its advised to replace the stock warmer/cooler and even my aftermarket item. Is there a way to remove the stock job completely? A new oil warmer/cooler goes for about 800$ and I just don't want to spend that kind of money for something that isn't even plumbed up.

Any ideas?
