Engine is looking awesome!

I got the 2012 heater hoses for mine. They'll work fine. I got them for $65 from Maureen.

Gotcha -
I wasn't sure if maybe there was a direct relationship to horse power gain and the canutant valve with moving the hoses

Sounds good KG on doing the mod - put after I drive my car and get it on the road again.
We can work on the cars then we can do the electrical in your barn

Not sure if there is any huge advantage, but you don't want anything hot near the engine. Those hoses have hot fluid running through them so moving them is a good idea.
