Is it a bad idea to run the heater along the intake runners ?
I need to change my fuel line and the heater hose from the intake is in the way. If I ran it under the fuel line and along the intake it would out good for fitment. But does the heat along the intake effect anything ?------------------

well you could always purhchase some header wrap or somethingand cover the hoses to kind insulate them. but i dont think that it wil hurt anything. the inline 6s had the heater hose runnign through the carb base and on top of the intake log.------------------

Will the heater hose add heat to the intake runners or are they about the same temp ?------------------

Think coolant temp might be a little higher than intake manifold temp, but if rerouting the hose cleans the engine compartment up, it could be worth it. 2cents. JD

Fastmanz: I'm looking into the same thing and wondering about that tubeing that goes on the boss 302. don't know anything about them but NPD has 2 lines from heater, along the int. to the front of block to the pump and intake on a windsor. I have accsess to stainless tubeing and able to weld them in tandom with clips mounted by the valve cover bolts.Look under NPD # 18696 hoses,tubes,elbows Just a thought. good luck ! let me know what you think!

I've looked into that too. I think it would look real cool. I too was thinking about making something out of tubing instead of buying the one for the boss $$$. Either that or capping off the outlets and not having a heater at all. But I get cold if it gets below 60.

If you're gonna cap the outlets, you may as well delete the entire heater. Save a substantial amout of weight. But, it sure sux not having a defroster.(Water leak!  )

My coil and electronics are located where my heater coil and blower motor used to be. I do not drive when it is raining and lower the windows if need be. Have only missed the heater a few times.------------------

i have had the heater hose laying on my intake and it has never been a problem, you just have to watch for any sharp or any kind of edge that when you engine revs it doesn't cut into the heater hose after time.
