I moved the motor back about 6.5” for my 20b project. In the new location there is not enough room between the stock heater core outlet on the driver side of the rear iron and the trans tunnel to connect a line. The easiest solution would be to remove the stock pipe and thread the hole in the housing to accept a low profile -AN 90 deg fitting. Has anybody done this? The last thing I want to do is experiment on this motor.

Not a record, just a CD. The turbo is a 102mm GT42R. I bought it from A-spec. It was very nice dealing with them.

Thanks. It looks like this is the route I'll be going.

What size did you use? 1/2 is too big and 3/8th goes in a little too easy for my liking.

I thread the holes and put a pipe plug with sealer in them , Needless to say I also remove the hotwax rod and the cam .The nipple on the back of the water pump house ,I have them welded up. I have also pluged the irons and brazed over the hole if the motor is apart . Tap the hole but not to deep put sealer on the plug and thread it in deep. 3/8 is what I have used and no one has called back with a leak .I use the plugs with an allen head drive,not the square head , they are ugly .

Seal weld the hole completely up using cast rod and then retap it 3/8" NPT.

See some of my older pics.
