Where is the Tee?

[MCAT]

Right behind the passenger side elbow, than i pulled off the inlet hose to the heater core, reversed it & cut an inch or two off of it, than I eliminated the tube on the passenger side of the block & capped off the outlet up front.

looks good,

I would like to do this also.

thanks for posting.

[musclemerc]

this would have also worked behind the block for a cleaner look.

Just an FYI for others

Nice work! Did you just do this, or did you do it while putting the engine back in?

[MCAT]

Thanks Dave, after I dropped the engine back in but before i put the Supercharger back on

Livernois recomends routing the oil back down to the oil pan to avoid windage.

after looking at all the mods addressing this issue is the consensus that livernois' method is the best?

is the windage effect by rerouting to the block outweigh the con of having heat build up in the head?

quite a few different ways to do this mod from what I have seen. the pro's and cons of each not really gone in depth so much though.

This mod is to eliminate the dead end at back of heads for the COOLANT
