The pancake oil cooler that came on some 93-95 LT1s was an absolute piece of ****. So much that GM dropped it altogether as an option after the 1995 model year. There have been several instances of them clogging, some temperature studies that have proven that they don't even help, and are overall a very poor design.
Before I'd run with the KC4 idea I'd run an aftermarket cooler, ESPECIALLY in a road-race application.
If the OP for some reason is interested in running the KC4, all he would need are the lines to replace the oil cooler bypass hose that came stock on his car. One end goes from the water pump to the cooler, then from the cooler to the radiator return.
