I do have a service manual, but no good diagrams showing this. thanks!

With those copper pipes, Bob, it looks like you could add hot water to your crete in cold weather so it sets up quicker! LOL.

Hahaha. I think you're onto something there. I have no idea how the factory would have plumbed a heater in a COE so I just winged it, and just couldn't see running a hose along an exhaust manifold. I also wanted stop valves for changing out the coolant filter.

Beautiful! Now THAT'S what I'm talking about. I like the doubler for the firewall penetrations, and the stainless bulkhead fittings. The only concern I would have with 100% hard piping is the transmission of engine noise and vibrations. Small hose jumpers at each end of the tubing eliminate that.
