Hello, do you by chance know the radiator hose part #'s you had used? I'm at that point with my camaro. My car was a column shift originally too but I wasn't brave enough to try it! Thanks

What I'd really love to know is how he got it here.
Tell him to visit merkursport.com if he hasn't already. We love cosworth sierras!

What an epic success story. Thanks for sharing your build process.
I'm looking at doing a 6.0L/4L60 swap into a 67 Firebird. The parts list should be quite similar.
I'm gonna use an electric speedo.
I like your exhaust set up. Simple and effective.
Not sure on steering rack. Currently it's manual. I'll probably do a 3rd gen like you. Seems the best option.
Disc brakes are a must as well.
Question about your mounts. Engine and trans. You mention two things.
1) you would have used a different trans cross member. Any particular reason?
2) the engine mounts have the back really close to the firewall. If you were to do it over, how would you address this? Or is it not a big deal?
Thanks!

I ended up using stock 2002 camaro hoses now, upper and lower, amazingly they fit and look cleaner than the jeep/gmc van i had been using!

The trans crossmember from S&P bolts to the vertical face of the subframe, it just seems to me it would be better to bolt through the top, like the origional one did, that being said, it seems to be holding up fine.

very cool, I am sure he is on the forum already, he has has several xr4ti's... Love yours in black. He is very mild with about 300RWHP... he has a new turbo for it, but who knows if he will ever get around to installing it, He just picked up a porshe 928, so thats his new intrest at the moment.
