Don't buy a kit..it's a waste of money.

Also, all of the kits I've seen use an adapter and several other pieces. That is just more places for leaks to happen.

Just get a piece of hose and two hose clamps. Lowe's or Home Depot or any autoparts store. 2 ft is plenty, probably more than enough. It has been awhile since I did it.

There is your kit for about $5 or less.

I can't remember the exact size of the hose needed..but it is either 3/8 or 5/16.

You don't even need the Clamps..use the ones that come off of the Car.

I think I lost mine when I was doing the swap, plus I love worm clamps

Just go to Lowe's,Home Depot, any parts store and buy 2 feet of 3/8's hose.

The nipple on the crossover is 5/16 but the one on the radiator is 3/8. Buy 2 hose clamps too b/c the stock ones are ******* gay.

No prob.

I told you to use 3/8's b/c I used 5/16's on my car and it was a bitch to get onto the radiator nipple b/c of the hose being too small.
