Hey guys I want to run coolant hoses from my water pump to my intake manifold and from my water pump to the thermostat outlet on my 302. Im not interested in running any to the heater core at the moment. I tried using some random bulk heater hose but the bends seem to be too tight, and the hoses kink. Does anyone make preformed hoses for this? If not, what have you guys used to do this?
dayso and gates both make a 90 degree heater hose in various lengths you could buy a short one and use, the one from the t-stat housing to the pump is called a byp*** hose directly made for the engine.
Larry those look more like block off caps. I'm looking for hoses that will allow the coolant to flow through the engine, without having to run coolant hoses to the heater core
The byp*** hose looks like this:http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-1971-1...Parts_Accessories&hash=item5aeb375d57&vxp=mtr goes from the water pump to the thermostat housing,for the rest of the hoses why not use a length of 5/8" heater hose in a loop long enough to reach the heater core then when you cut it it will already be there,that way no kinks.The preformed byp*** hose is about $6 at Autozone.
