Anyway, i thought these pics may be of value to someone like me that.
Would love to be able to keep all 4 corners connected but will end up building a new crossover kit when i do the heads/cam swap
For now, just want to get running and the ls6 setup. It was much easier to wiggle them apart once out of the car I was trying to do it in car so i didn't dump a bunch of coolant on the floor In todays video we track down and fix a coolant leak on my cammed 2006 sierra 5.3
There is a bigger motorcraft pn assembly that includes the crimped hoses and hard lines and this elbow if you need that Others on the forum have recommended used heater hoses with worm. The pipe is sealed to the engine. Anyway, i thought these pics may be of value to someone like me.
