Which one of these heater hoses should I T or Y into in order to support the rear head cooling mod without adverse effects?

I think the inlet is on the left , not 100% sure though.

Don't do it. They are prone to leak and drop into your cool cover right where the wires go through and cause a misfire. I have seen it numerous times at our ford store. Not only on marauders but other ones

What exactly leaks? If it leaks from the T I create, i need to do a better job at tightening clamps or double clamp it. :confused:

True. But we seen it happen several times
Lots of heat back there and if you over tighten you stand a chance of leaking. As embarrassing as it is my marauder has leaked causing a misfire and is actually starting to leak again I just noticed. I just ordered new hoses.

Yes. I'm going to connect both sides together then go to either a heater hose or back to the upper radiator hose

Definitely install the cooling mod , and save yourself a couple of burnt , and bent valves from overheating #7&8 are notorious for this problem on the dohc motors.

Yeah I'm going to. I just can't believe the factory messed up that bad on these cars. Sad.

Prone to leak? Or YOURS leaked? It's a hose and a clamp. It doesn't get much simpler unless you used cheap ass clamps.

I have an original DR rear cooling kit mod installed for over 80K and 12 years... not even a drop or moist hoses or fitting.

If hoses and clamps for coolant connections were such a problem, we would all be on horseback.
