HUH??? I appologise in advance for the impending highjack of your thread, but miss information, and blatant lies should not be given the oportunity to propigate (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) - The "Plastic" fittings were designed by a Major Automotive Manufactur, they are made of the same material as the intake manifold (which has coolant runnning through it) on the Chevy LS1. The threads on yours stripped because they are pipe threads (tapered) and you are not smart enough to stop torquing on the fitting when it's tight. I have personally torqued a hose clamp onto the fittings while hot from boiling water, and witnessed no observable defflection. Nothing wrong w/ using brass fittings, but be sure they aren't necked down inside, which will kill the flow. And dont over tighten them, or you will be bitching about the aluminum mounts not being strong enough (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) - All914.com does not exist. Brad is a fairly active member of this board. Great guy, no argument. He is THE guy to talk to for set-up, suspension stuff etc. Last i heard, he is not in the conversion buisness however. It's kinda like asking your dentist to take a look at your broken hand... Better than most, but he will refer you to an expert. - Bull (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) The RH mount has over twice the torsional ridgity of the factory mount. If you want to make a heavier one... more power to you, but dont try to blow smoke over it. - The RH mount works just fine w/ the RH Water pump inlet, the problems arise when people try to use their own motor mount bar. The rotating inlet is a good solution. - There is a guarantee behind the "backyard nonsense" It is Guaranteed to work. According to your friend with no real world experiance, you should also remove the thermostat, as the water will be flowing faster, but it is well documented that Chevy small blocks overheat without a thermostat (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) The Chevy Motor must have never met your friend (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chairfall.gif) In conclusion, if you have a problem w/ Scott, that's fine, just dont try to make up defficancies with his product to cover up your own agenda (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) |

P.S. if you can't get that hose to make a corner why don't you just install an aluminum elbow to make the turn? |
