I actually had to wipe some of the grease off as the hoses could be turned with the clamps tightened.

Bobby...one more thing...those #7 screws...the six on the top radiator shroud way down in front. Use a dremel or something and cut the shroud...and install the clips on the other piece and reverse the direction of the screws..they go in a LOT easier that way. Do you get what I mean?

Uly, got the hoses on tonight. That is quite a project even with the stuff out of the way. I don't know how you guys got them on without removing a bunch of crap!!! I think I know what you are talking about with the #7 screws. I am going to work on putting on the shroud tomorrow evening. I'll let you know how that goes . Thanks for the tip about the screws.........

It's fairly simple. The most you should have to remove is the belt tensioner. I have had to remove the oil cooler lines on one car as whomever set the clamps did not pay attention to the orientation.

But yes, it is tight. A little silicone grease goes a long way.

You are sooooo right about the silicone grease. Really made the hoses go on pretty easily. Just finished installing the shroud. All I have left are the #7 screws. It was too late to use the dremel and reverse the screws but tomorrow evening I will attempt to get at least 2 on per side. That top one might not be installed. I don't see any problems occurring if it isn't there!!! Should be able to put the fluid back in also tomorrow. This was a pretty big project for a "shade tree mechanic". Thanks to all you guys for your help and support.....probably wouldn't have done it if it weren't for your guys

Nice. It should run cooler now too. Congrats Bob.

I have a header install coming up. Winter project though. I am talking with Jeff tonight about P&P the Inj housings and Plenum as well as some powdercoating. Red/Black car, I think I am staying with the silver. Any other combos look good in this car. Red maybe?
