so I'm doing a swap onto a 97 Cobra already have a bunch of parts needed but I am curious if there is a way to get rid of the hard lines that go from the intercooler to exchanger and swap for something else.

also, I am curious if you can use the 97 Cobras oil cooler in the swap haven't heard any relevant information regarding this.

a little more info on the heat exchanger i will not be using the stock one and will be getting a cheaper option and cutom fitting it to my bumper bar to cut costs.

You can use your own lines for the intercooler. A lot of people go with rubber 1" lines when doing all the upgrades. If you're fancy I'm sure you can come up with your own hard lines.

I don't believe you can use the 97 Cobra oil cooler because of alternator placement. I think the 03/04 placement gets in the way of the lower radiator hose.

Thank you any chance you know of forum out there with instructions on how to make the lines?

You'll need a bender of some kind if you want to make hard lines. I'm sure you can find some videos on YouTube.
