Default 4x4 engine into 3dr cossie

ok im putting in my old engine out of my 4x4 sapphire into my 3dr.It be running rwd so ive got hold of most of bits i need ie 2wd sump,engine mounts,manifold etc.

also im transfering over my rad and 500 cooler from the sappy i was woundering can i still use all my 4x4 hoses ie boost/coolent/ancillary etc or would these have to be 2wd versions?

Boost hoses ok, but water hoses I think(?) will be 4wd because of different thermo housing, not 100 though.

you should be able to keep the 4wd stuff but i'm sure someone who's done the conversion before will be able to clarify the situation

i can't see why you wouldn't be able to though

if you're using the 4x4 thermostat housing and water pump, then use the 4x4 water hoses
