yep, already done

the parts store actually has the metal one listed as the direct replacement, not sure if its the same part number as the #3.

i ended up finding the bracket mixed in with some of the other parts so i am good to go now.

and why would i need to changed the adapter? they were exactly the same? remember i am using the 2008 L26 N/A 3800 block.

Youre using n h-body 3.8 right? If so you need a w-body oil filter bracket. If not disregard

the block came out of a 2008 grand prix and has the exact same filter adapter as my 2002.

i am only using the heads, intake, supercharger, pulleys, brackets, etc... from the Buick Ultra
