If you haven't tried this kit do you have any suggestions for any other kits or parts?

I don't think I would trust an ebay cooler. Most likely it's made in china, and will fail in a few months. if you're on the cheap try this. Don't mind that it says transmission cooler, an oil cooler is an oil cooler.

I don't need the cooler I actually just need a new plate and gasket but they don't make them anymore. The kit I posted I don't really want to use because I really don't trust eBay parts but it will replace my cooler plate and I could relocate my oil filter but I also don't really know where to relocate the filter to either

If you get a relocate kit you can attach the filter to the frame rail close to the swaybar mount

I'm gonna have to look under there and look once i get the kit if I get it but thank you that sounds like a good place. Have you ever mounted a filter there before? Any troubles?

I have on a friend's car. It makes it easier to change filter, and makes less of a mess

If it's cheap enough, I'd say get it. Just because it's on ebay doesn't make it a piece of crap. It is possible to buy big name band parts on eBay if it's that important.

I'm betting you can find a good quality oil cooler cheaper than that.

I don't really need the kit because my oil cooler is good I have a leak at the block where the oil cooler adaptor plate meets the block. They don't make these parts anymore so that is why I may end up buying that kit because it may solve my leak

I found an assorted oil o-ring kit, now I just have to wait till Monday for my Royal Purple oil filter to get here from American Muscle than I'm going to see if I can fix the leak without buying the relocation kit
