So I’d bought a number of parts with the V8, including the ecu, loom, oil cooler, radiator etc. to make things a little easier. I’m a big fan of using as much OEM stuff as possible in a swap as it just makes servicing that much easier. I’d rather take the time, fabricate brackets and mounts for things that I know work.
As I used the radiator form the donor car, it meant that I could also use the original rad hoses, and also that the oil cooler (which month to the bottom of the radiator itself) could also be used. Really it doesn’t look out off place at all in the car, and I got everything to fit behind the stock panels.
