I've been searching around for what I will need for the sr swap I already have the sr it looks like I will need a front mount and bov and a stock sr downpipe and a radiator and 1 upper radiator hose I am wondering if the stock sr downpipe will fit my 2.5 catlic converter? I see a few other hoses are cut also I'm wondering what you guys needed extra for your sr swap any info would be great I will post up pics of the motor when I get on my computer.

Depends on how much you want to upgrade or just swap out. I would suggest as many gaskets as you can as well as the thremostat and waterpump. Others will chime in.... Pics and where did you get your engine?

Is it possible to just fab my own hoses? I could just go to the store and by the L, S, and U and put it together

I believe others have done it but would have to ask around. Also, it wouldnt be bad if you bought the sr20 swap dvd and the older project car magazine when they swap a red top in.

Make sure all your hose clamps and stuff are tight. Keep some extra hose and fluids around if you have to fix some leaks and replace what you lost.
