Was going to aak a few questions so instead of posting multipule threads, just bunch em up.

Coolant line question: what kind of pipe do you guys use for the extension pipe from the rear of the motor to the front if you don't plump the thermostat housing to the front?

Trans question: the book is unclear on procedures on changing fluids, so new fluid, how much and which bolt is the fill bolt?

Had a couple more but as I forgot. More questions as I progress.

I used steel 1".

There is a fill bolt on the side or you could fill it through the shifter.I believe 2 quarts.

Thanks, I can get this from home depo, right? Motor coming out today and bolting up to the trans. Going back in maybe sunday. Tomorrow don't got the time cause other job and only got 2 hours availible between jobs today. Anything you guys use to get bends without greasing the hoses? Saw this spring at a local shop that you coil arround hoses. Looking for a review for the oil return and heater hoses. Don't need heater in Hawaii.

Thanks for the quick replys. Got my waterneck from ford, mitsubishi dealer kinda junking with ford at the moment. Don't thing it will be perm but we'll see. New gasket, with old thermostat. Home depo only bass brass, copper, and galv pipe. Can I use any of these as a sub or still recomended stainless steel? Problems with any of them?

Oh and second attempt centerforce clutch, second time wrong size. Going with a
Different manufacture. Promised tomorrow. I'll see how that goes.

Also my heater hose, at the moment I have them connected together as a bypass. It kinda sticks out a bit past the waterneck. Should I replace with plugs?
