I went this route. Ended up making my own brackets to mount a core like the harrop oil cooler. Would have come out way ahead if not for the leaky fittings. I feel like that’s the one benefit of buying a pre made kit is pre made pressure tested lines.

Original investment was around $360 for core, plate and lines. Easily spent another $100 on fittings and 15 hours filling, draining and fixing lines. Over a few weekends of course. The breath of relief when I finally stopped seeing drips from the fitting on the core..

*edit* guess it was closer to $430 after you factor in all the specialty tools necessary to do the job.
