???

you got a relocation kit... so you already have the sandwich plates - you could just tap into the current lines you are running...

i.e. instead of block -> relocation kit -> block

it will be

block -> oil cooler -> oil filter (or filter -> cooler) -> block

not sure what you are asking... but for the most part, everyone I've seen (on this forum & otherwise) who runs an oil cooler for our cars runs it in relation to the oem oil filter location.

well as long as where the oil filter spins on has a place to put the oil lines

what kind of oil filter relocation kit did you get? hahaha. Every relocation kit I've seen has 2 lines - one for return, one for feed - splice one of those lines.

Obviously, the highest quality one would be -an lines, but if you don't want to pay for those, I guess you could use the regular barb connection.

no, you don't need the 2nd one. Not sure what you are getting hung up on... it should be fairly straight forward to figure out that you just need more hose to run from one of those lines to the oil cooler & back...

The only thing you would want to consider other than the cooler, extra hose, and maybe mounting brackets if needed, would be a thermostat - that is up to you, you can search the oil cooler threads & determine if you really need one - for most so cal ppl, running w/ cold oil isn't an issue.
