Darrell,

I used the stock coolant locations and piped outside, instead of under the =
manifold on my TR8 with an SD1 3 piece intake.

I can provide pictures if that helps.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the reply.  Is propane or MAP gas enough heat for those rods?

I forgot to mention, the pipe is 5/8=94.  I could drop down to 1/2=94 (that=
=92s what I was going to do in the copper, then up to 5/8=94 with a brass h=
ose barf).  But since I=92m brazing it, would straight threads be OK?  Tech=
nically, there is a 5/8=94 NPT size defined, but I=92ve not found any taps =
or dies in that size.
