Coolant tube for PI Swap
I'm having some trouble with the coolant tube I got through Ford (I double checked the part number and it's for the right application). When I connect it to the nipple on the backside of the water pump in the vally and lay it down, it sticks out 3 inches past the back of the head...? I know it bolts to the back of the driver's side head, but it just doesn't look right. Does anyone have a picture of theirs? Or any info? Thanks...

Bump... I can't even fit my inatke manifold on. I think there's a problem with the tube. The first bend closest to the water pump is back too far. What about cutting the water pump nipple? Anybody have an idea on what's going on here?!?!
i "custom" made one, ill post a pic......
