You need to read the threads in this forum.

I JUST spent hours putting together info in a sticky thread at the top of this forum.

You did not read anything if you are asking the questions you are. I literally spent 6+ months researching. All the info is there. Nobody can put together a comprehensive list for you because there are literally hundreds of variables depending on the parts combination you use.

But just to prove you wrong, on the very first page of the "comprehensive DOHC engine swap thread", there is a pretty complete list for one particular combination. So actually, all you had to do was open the thread at the top of the forum to get your "list". But like I said, that probably won't even apply to you, unless you use that exact combination of parts.

this is 100% true

Even the wiki has a pretty basic list which is linked on this forum.

Well put.

Yeah I never posted once asking about what was needed or how to do the swap.. and I used this site almost exclusively for information. I checked the info I found here against other info found other places, but everything you need is here on this site.

yeah

People will be more willing to help you out if you are confused about a particular hose/wire/part when it's obvious that you've at least put some effort into to figuring out what is necessary.
