    I don't think how I have my 6 cylinder hoses would help you much, but I thought I would let you know the pictures in your signature don't seem to be working.

    Not a whole lot of choices on routing heater hoses. I have the routed to the side of the engine.

    i have mine run similar to stock. i will warn you though, at first i bought the flexible metal style hoping to never have to worry about one breaking and having to change them. needless to say when i first started to fill the system with fluid the stupid things leaked so i had to change them before i could even fire my engine off for the first time:mad:

    These may be a little tough to see but this is how they came from the factory on a 71.
