[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 15816114, member: 124025"] I've been attempting to route my lines for this pump swap. I didn't like the way it was turning out because my lines were behind the fans, which will only serve to further heat the coolant. I had a hell of a time trying to replicate this. [ATTACH=full]1463394[/ATTACH] I finally got it done, but I had to cut about 3/8" off the inlet for the degas tank. I was thinking there was a difference between older and newer GT500s, but I think it's because of the additional width of my C&R radiator. Anyway, thanks for posting this because I like how it's turning out. I ran out of hose to finish and I think silicone hose may work better for some of the bends, so I need to order some up.
