I haven't looked for one so maybe a place like TR or Speed might carry one, but why do you think you need one?

Maybe this can help ...

It's a parts list for the plumbing. My oil cooler is a heat exchanger inside a side tank of my LGM radiator. But, you can use the parts list and source your own oil cooler.

I like this setup because it doesn't require a remote oil filter or a sandwich plate that makes the filter hang even lower. Also, a sandwich plate has the ports coming out perpendicular to the block, which is straight into the hearder. LGM's adaptor has the oil line ports coming out parallel to the block, away from the heat.
