I have a 2001 Malibu Sunsetter VLX (V-drive wakeboard boat); it has the Corvette LS1 package on it. This was an optional motor package (different interior stuff also goes along with the LS1) from 2000-2005 on certain Malibus. Marinezed by Indmar, rated @ 375HP.

Sadly, the 2000 and 2001 motors did not get the oil filter relocation kit the 2002-2005 boats got (according to someone I messaged with that works at Indmar). The oil filter is a real PITA to change on this boat so I'm wanting to do this upgrade. The guy at Indmar said he would look into pieceing something together for me but that didn't pan out.

Does anyone sell a kit for the LS1 that isn't crazy in price?

One alternative is to use a spin-on adaptor, these
are available at Jeg's, Summit, just about any broad
line parts place. Just have to know your motor's
filter gasket diameter. They tend to have the
remote end use a large, common / standard filter.
Not LS1-specific, really.

You could also put a cooler in the line if you are
running it hard for long periods.
