For some reason EVERYTHING I do to #5939 generates controversy... In factory configuration car has 10 pipe sections to/from radiator. Not only will you spend a fortune in hose clamps, but it looks stupid. Plus the first pipe on return side bangs against crumple tube and knocks epoxy loose (and it's a pain to maneuver in). I was able to simplify to 6 sections: 2 in engine compartment (need those for otterstat and expansion bottle), 2 along frame, and 2 under gas tank. Everything else is hose. Note: if first pipe from radiator is jetisoned, radiator bleed line will need to be tapped in somewhere else. I simply inserted a tee in heater core return and ran hose right under luggage compartment to it. One of these days when I'm rich and famous will get the muffler house to mandrel bend two pieces of 1.25" stainless so I have continuous pipes from rear to front of car (eliminate joints at rear of closing plate).
