I replaced mine with the 5.0 still in the truck last week no problem. I used the one from Transadapt that has 2 inlets and 2 outlets facing the front and back. Just thread the bypass adapter on by hand and mark the orientation of the in/outlets then pull it off and plug the holes facing the exhaust. Spin it back on tight and install the barbed fittings towards the front and hook up the hoses. Keep in mind that it WILL start to leak once the O-ring compresses and you will have to tighten it up until the O-ring flattens out and you have to replace it.

Better to wait and do it right. I'd also choose to replace the barbed fittings with steel braided hose with AN style fittings. The barbed ones tend to leak later on. And if you screw the block adapter on tight enough,the "O" ring will be compressed to the point that it will compress no more.

Be sure to be careful in routing the oil filter relocation kit lines. I put one on an old Pontiac I had years ago when some headers I installed were bumping the oil filter and I ran the lines too close to the headers. I was passing a couple of cars at about 90 mph when one of the oil lines decided it was time to burst from the heat of the headers. Sprayed oil all over the header on the passenger side of the car and made a smoke screen like you wouldn't believe. I went from 5 quarts of oil in the motor to 0 quarts in about 1 second. I'm lucky the whole car didn't catch on fire. That's my 2 cents on oil filter relocation kits.
