Coolant crossover out of block & AN fittings or NPT?

[JA$ON]

I have seen this on a few cars but couldnt gather the info I was looking for. Is there a fitting that fits into the block where the hardline-coolant crossover would go on a Teksid block and the other end of the fitting is either NPT or AN fitting? This would obviously give you a lot more flexibility for plumbing if you could use Aeroquip hose or SS lines. Anybody understand what I'm talking about?

I guess thats what I'm asking? I dont have a block in front of me. I wasnt even sure that the holes are threaded, doesnt the stock cooland crossover just slide up and out of the block? I thought someone may know...

 

[Bigturbonotch]

they dont look threaded to me. ill do some research...

The block is not tapped. The stock crossover pipe is just a pressure fit with O rings

and i dont see why they would be threaded in the first place, thats what i think at least.

Yeah, I guess that would be kind of hard to get it on or take it off huh:-o

So, the holes are probably tapped for a big ass NPT or AN then huh?

Back to finding an older one 99-01 and modding it I guess.....

from the pictures they do not look tapped as todd says its pressure fit so theres no reason for them to be threaded. ask your engine builder to tap some ntp, should be easy since its aluminum.

I'm going to explore it some more, but with the fittings more than likely being -16, it'll get out of hand real fast with $$$$ fittings, quick peek on Summit and they were like $30-$40 apiece!!

Did you send that guy on modfords a pm and see what exactly he did to get it to work? Both those pics are from the same guy over there

Holes for coolant crossover are in the heads not in the block.Just cut the fittings from a stock one .

You beat me to it. The coolant crossover goes in the the head. You will have to have the heads tapped to receive a NPT to AN fitting. It will either be -12 or bigger.

Chris Beary had this on an early set of heads that he used w/ the 4V REN combination. Han's should know a little bit more. The guys building your motor over at Modular Performance should have some insight too.

J,

Used the even flow or just weld the fitting into the head.
