That kit will not work on a MM. A Cobra has a completely diffrent coolant routing than the MM.That kit will only do one cylinder head, the MM cooling mod requires a connector on both cylinder heads. If you want to do a cooling mod and save some cash at the same time heres a link to the Musclemerc Cooling Mod. It has more flow and fluid capacity than the Evenflow Coolong Mod

I carry them in stock, Don even added the tube I designed to be welded into the cross over pipe instead of cutting the URH and adding the ugly adapter.

Running a coolant line that close to the TB will have an adverse effect on IAT's

HAHAH seriously?

Underhood engine bay air temps will be higher than the exterior temp of the rubber line.

Not if the heater hose is wrapped six times around the throttle body and upper intake and air intake tube, circling the air filter and piped through the middle of the intake air stream, Like mine is......

^^ Atta boy! You think he did all that for nothing?

I don't think so...

There is a reason the Mfg's run the heater hoses around the cylinder heads rather than across the TB, upper intake, and other heat sensitive parts.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the location of the passenger side inlet going to interfere with the lower intake if you do the Eaton swap? I think the Plenum wall is a bit thin to machine it enough to clear the fitting on the Evenflow aluminum piece.

IIRC the you will still have to grind the PS lower with the Eaton swap

Wrapped 6 times around the throttle body? You know you can shorten that hose right? :D

Show me some datalogs, not some ******** internet/myth/theory. Even on a fox body where coolant is ran THROUGH the EGR/throttle body deleting it doesn't make a difference once the engine is warmed up. Sure it helps cold start situations though.

Also you guys are aware coolant runs right through the lower intake valley....Guess Ford did that wrong?

Being a old 5.0 rider myself you and I both know one of the first mods back in the day was to disconnect those TB coolant lines.

The MM also has coolant lines running to the upper intake, but they are for the heated PCV system to help burn off some of the oil being dumped into the upper intake from the PCV blow by.

I don't have any proof but I would rather not run a coolant line that close to my TB.

Maybe I'm just pickey.

I was only kidding. I have it running along the cam cover, straight and without loops.

The inter cooler will take care of any heat picked up before it. But, less is more.!

Its not going to make a difference.

You guys are funny.

I am running my evenflow return under the lower intake, in the valley, with the return to the upper radiator hose.
Personally I don't really think it looks that ugly, IMHO.

It's not an MM motor, I always wondered why the MM had the coolant routing that it did. it just seems kind of needlessly complicated.

:shrug:
