Coolant hoses/lines routing and attachment

[rockytopmark]

Hi all -

I am hooking everything up again, after an engine/tranny swap performed this past weekend with the help of Chris Blust (oplegt73), and I am having a hard time figuring out where all the coolant lines go.

Anyone have a drawing, detailed picture, or anything better than what is in the FSM? I have searched the site all morning and either missed them or there aren't any, that I found....

History... 1970 GT, that formerly ( ) had A/C. Removed the special cast aluminum lower outlet setup in favor of the stock non-A/C hose. I also had a myriad of other hoses/lines for the heater, water choke (still need), tees, elbows, etc. I have pics of before, but I didn't capture what I needed to reconfigure, apparently.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks, Mark

Your upper radiator hose runs from the top of the radiator to the thermostat. The bottom radiator hose runs from the bottom of the radiator to the water pump on the front side of the block.

you will have a heater hose running from the top passenger side of the waterpump to one of the two inlets on the heater core. the other heater hose will run from the back side of the thermostat housing to the other remaining outlet. it doesnt matter which way the heater core is hooked up, all it needs is flowing water through it.

for the T's...........there will be a T in each one of the heater hoses going to the heater core, with smaller lines off the 3rd barb that goes to the waterchoke housing.

Don't forget the heater valve goes between the thermostat housing heater hose and the heater core, otherwise you will get heat in the summer. I'm doing this from memory without looking at the GT. If I'm incorrect, please correct me.

oops, forgot about the heatervalve......jeff is 100 percent correct on its location.
