Re: oil cooler
i was told the stock cooler didnt flow worth a sh*t . they told me to use a larger filter and get rid of the cooler . i was thinking of using a difrent cooler that will flow better . i talked to waller and he used that setup on a race truck not a street driven one .

Re: oil cooler
I suppose you could run with out one, i just didn't like the idea of the oil cooking in my turbo after i beat on it for a while. I did install a turbo timmer to help out though.
The adapter plate for a normal spin on filter can be bought from gm or removed from any 4.3 junk yard vechile. It should be located on the passanger side rear part of the motor. Right now you will have the end for the remote filter bolted in. Remove the bolts, remove the remote filter system, install adapter plate, spin on filter, and you should be done.
I think its held in with 2 x 7/16th bolts, should be able to reuse them too.

Re: oil cooler
I would imagine that the filter wouldnt fit with the propshaft in the way? Could this be true? If not what filter would you use for this? I took my cooler lines down to a shop today to see about welding a loop on to them to bypass cooler. So I would still have the remoitefilter. Not sure what Im going to do yet. If someone can solid info on this I will go this route for sure.

Re: oil cooler
if you want to put the filter on the block, get the threaded adapter(which can be found on a 2wd V6 or numerous small blocks), and get a AC-DELCO PF47 filter(which is a shorter version of the PF52).
i cant remember if there was a bypass valve that needed to be put in on the block, right next to the thread adapter of the oil filter.:? check and see if the bypass valve is there.
