miketyler 15 Report post Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) I keep seeing these in the Osborne book and in the catalogs but have yet to see one on a car. This is the metal tube, about a foot long that apparently ran across the top of the manifold for heater. Probably were tossed and replaced with continuous hose instead. Why would Ford put a section of metal heater pipe in place of a end-to-end rubber hose? I was thinking of fabbing one up out of stainless. Anyone got a pic of one installed?

dennyb68 11 Report post Posted February 19, 2012 If you do a search in the Project Progress Forum I have two pictures in my album where you can see the tubes I installed along the right valve cover. I just went to the junkyard and found a late 70's big Ford car with a 400 in it and used the tubes off of that.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miketyler 15 Report post Posted February 22, 2012 And that photo I posted was from CJP where they specify is for 70 Mustang with 351C only. http://www.cjponyparts.com/COOLANT-TRANSFER-TUBE-351C-1970/p/WTT2/ Guess they could be wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miketyler 15 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 So why did Ford use the steel tubes? Did rigid lines help keep the hoses down low and kept them from interfering with air cleaner pan? Btw, nice engine bay Denny! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
