Hi Keith,oil filter/cooler relocation kit, Stainless bolts are the stage8 header bolts in using on my headers, and the engine mount kit from CJ's s to replace the passenger side factory engine mount which has the AU factory oil cooler intergrated under the factory mount. water hose ill modify but that will be on the day.
No problem a all Ben, Ill add the photos down below.Hi Keith,
If possible, would you be able to take some photos of the original engine mount, oil cooler manifold and compare it to the new engine mount? Also the area in where the MMR oil lines adapter bolts on behind the alternator.
Looking at the American oil filter adapter I believe it may foul on the steering rack.
I'm considering doing something similar, maybe utilizing the Mishimoto oil cooler kit.
Good luck with your mods. I look forward to seeing the end results.
Cheers Ben.

I finally finished the install this morning and took the beast for a run, oil pressure is normal and oil temp is normal most of all NO leaks, thank christ
Every thing fit perfect, only bitch ill have with the MMR kit is they do not provide any mounting brackets or hardware but it was not a big issue to make them. The Kit provides much more clearance around the block now that the factory cooler is out of the way. Both of the CNC hardware is of exceptional quality as with the hoses and fitting (hoses took least amount of time to make up) I took my time with the install, didn't want to rush it and stuff something up or cut un-necessary corners. This unit doesnt even come close to the steering rack so no dramas what so ever their.
Over all very happy with the kit and unlike the street fighter and mishimoto kits this removes the cooler manifold completely from close proximity of the headers. MMR race and test their products and have done so for some time. The kit may not be for every one but after alot of resurch and pondering this is the personal option made.
Also installed the stage8 header bolts and I can tell you they make a large difference in accessibility to the bolts, very happy with them
Enough gabbering time for some pics.

Factory manifold and the MMr unit
MMR unit bolted in place with plenty of clearence, Once alternator is in place it just has clearence, hoses once on have more than enough clearence and you have flexability as to the direction they can go. (I utilized the factory heater hose location clamp to hold the oil line in place)
