Thanx Riporter, Thats better need to figure out the digital camera now to get some better clarity. Thanx, Thom
thom, have you put that engine in yet? I couldn't get my factory thermostat housing and hose to clear my alt. bracket with the same setup. You might have to get the housing I did and I can find you the part number for the hose I used.
Thanx Ryan, Actually I do have the engine in I tried a cheap themostat housin first that came off on an angle. That wouldnt work b/c it ran into the alt adjustment rod. Went w/ the Ford motorsport 90 degree housing w/ a nice coolflex hose expensive but worth it. How did you do yours? Thom
I used the 90 degree housing from a 5.0 mustang, other cars used the same one too. then the hose I found at autozone. If you look at the pictures the bend looks like it was made for the setup. The part number for Autozone is L-390 the hose comes a little longer with another bend on one end but you cut it to fit like mine. It will look much better than a flex hose. But I think yours is the chrome flex hose right? depending on how that hose fits the one I used might look better.
