Searching has led me to believe there is a difference in the rads but really hasnt told me what the exact differences are?

Also, what is involved in using a KA radiator with an SR swap? Different hoses or alot more?

Thanks!

the bottom hose is fine, but the top hose is in the way of your boost pipe, which doesn't exactly make it easy to close the hood.

i'm pretty sure that's it

Search more, upper hoses are different. The KA upper hose goes on the pass. side where as the SR is on the drivers. If you plan on keeping the KA radiator I believe there's a conversion kit that makes your hose extend to the proper location.

You could purchase that or another kit. Or you can go to your local Pep Boys and tell them what you're looking for. They were nice enough to let me go behind the parts desk and look for a radiator hose myself. Found one that works perfectly, just had to cut about 2 inches off the end. $12 total. I'll list a part number tomorrow, if I can find it.
