Show off your small block.
Thanks. I started out with a Trans Dapt relocation kit #1113, but didn't use the hoses or push on fittings it came with. Then after fire-up, I couldn't get the Filter Bypass piece to stop leaking - crappy machining on the pipe threads. So it turns out that all I used from the kit was the piece that the filter screws on to. I just made up my own -8AN braided hoses to match my other lines under the hood.
I bought a nice billet piece (Performance World #83290) that takes -10ORB to -8AN adapters. That went on the block just fine and no more leaks.
If I was to do this again, I wouldn't bother with a "kit". I would just pick up a couple of nice billet pieces for the Filter Bypass and the Oil Filter mount, and again do my own -8AN hoses to connect them up.
Silver cast piece: junk. Black Billet piece: nice.
As far as the drip tray goes, that's just a magnetic parts tray, some 1/4" brake line and a bit of JB Weld.
