Heater hoses!!

I have a 351m motor and standard no a/c truck.
Does it matter how the heater uses from the motor to the heater core are run? Is there an inlet/outlet on the motor and heater core???

I would think its does matter, I'll show a picture of my 302.
You may also find info here, Water Pump #'s & Illustrations - Gary's Garagemahal (the Bullnose bible) Look around that site, lots of info there.

Heater hoses

Thanks for the info! I was thinking it made a difference at the heater core, but according to the diagram, it makes no difference!

Really it doesn't matter. The core's going to get hot regardless of circulation direction.

Yup this ↑ In these trucks functionally it does not matter what direction coolant flows through the heater core. For optimal hose routing, it may make a difference where the feed and return hoses go.
