M42 radiator swap complete!

[SpecM]

snap a few pics of the hose with different angles, I'll flip through my Gates book tomorrow and see what I can do

what hose did you use? part #? oem or Gates/Dayco?

[Jand3rson]

Yes, yes, pics and info! Also, do you have a late or early model car? I have an '86 325es, so if you have a late, I'll have to do it a little differently.

I never took pictures of my M42 radiator after I installed it.. wish I had. That would have been nice for documentation.

Thanks you! That'd actually be quite nice to have if I were shaving my engine bay lol. Everything else is removed anyways.

it's less coolant hoses/connections to go bad and leak as well. great mod imo.

It's probably a stupid question but what is the purpose of swapping an m42 radiator into an m20 car?

[Naplm00]

Ill have some pics up soon but, for thoes who have completed this swap with a M20...

What did you use for your upper rad hose? I found one at a local auto parts store that kinda fits but it is semi-collapsed

and direct or near direct fitments?
