I cannot address the issue of "which block the kit fits", but I do know
from direct experience that the Mocal brand adapter that comes with the
oil cooler comes with instructions on how to determine if the inner seal
is sealing properly.
In short, you assemble the adapter to the block with some modelling clay
on the inner flat area... tighten down to spec and hten remove. Depending
on what you see, you may need an thicker o-ring in the inner seal groove.
So, you can easily determine if the adapter will work.
I have bought several of these adapters, some are from Mocal, some are
not.
Overall, this is a really great upgrade for TR6. It makes oil changes a
snap and with the proper filter (with anti-drainback valve) your cold
startup won't allow the engine to run dry (which it can do wiith the stock
filter).
