5.7 v8 heater hose hookup?

[Kurtis]

I never hooked up my heater hoses when I did the swap in my 60 last june and am thinking about taking off to the snow so I was thinking now might not be a bad time to hook them up. Does any one have a picture of their setup and a place to get the little adaptors to use normal hose? I'm assuming it goes in to the intake manifold for one and the water pump for the other as the land cruiser radiator doesn't have a slot for it like the chevys do. Is this right?

Water to bottom and intake rear to top. I think there'sa pic in my ROTM thread? Maybe one in my Photobucket that's linked from the ROTM thread in the 60 forum.

It seems like there is 3 hookups on the land cruiser... I have one up high, one down lower and one on the right coming from the auxilary heat... Did you just put a T in for the auxillary heater and the other one up top and then run it to the intake?

I've been driving this thing every day for about 6 months and its been great. The heat is really about the last thing not done and It will be a pretty dang good feeling when this thing is done.

Lemme check it all out when I get home tonight brother. Did you hook up AC?

Yea the ac is all hooked up but When I had the hoses made i didn't realize chevy's ports are inline so I just have to have the fill ports brazed in. Thanks a lot man.

OK... did you use the GM compressor? I need to look at that setup and how the hell you wired it cuz I sure cant figure that s*** out on mine. I'll get ya a good look at the heater setup on mine tonight.
