As suspected it wont fit. No threads to attach to anything. Move along, nothing to see

If you really want to do this, try asking Canton Racing Products if any of their parts would fit. If not, they offer custom fabrication services.
But before you go that route, make sure your hoses will clear all of the engine parts as well as the shifter linkages.
As I mentioned before, the only custom part on the Brammo system was the billet adapter that replaces the block-mounted oil cooler. That means you need a remote oil cooler as well as the oil filter, but that isn't such a bad thing. You might want to contact TMI to see if they have any of those brackets (Brammo part number AA-PT-120) for sale. Either re-use the O rings off the stock cooler or purchase new ones from GM.
The other trick with the Brammo kit is that you need a spring to replace the oil filter in the filter housing. That is Brammo part AA-PP-270.
With those two Brammo parts, you have an intake and outlet line on the engine for whatever you want to do and you can purchase stock parts for the rest.
Brammo told me that they did a lot of testing of different remote systems and this is the one that worked. They did blow up at least one engine (I won't mention which car, as neither the original owner nor the current owner of that car are on this forum).
