This thread has nothing to do with aftermarket oil filters.

The OP needs to relocate the oil filter mount; the original mounting location is not available because he has installed a later model transmission case and oil pan.

I should have phrased that better. I am very Leary of after market oil filter relocation kits. Since that is what we were discussing I thought you would know.

Are the holes in the block still there for the stock EVO oil filter mount?

I believe 1993 was the first year for the engine mounted oil filter. 93 was the first year of the oil tank under the transmission.
