RE: Heater hoses bypass
I have mine exactly like Colorado's. Looks a lot cleaner than connecting the two with a hose. You don't need a super nice camera to take pics like that. Ever heard of the Macro and SuperMacro function on your camera? Use em, they work great!

7Mp freebie.
It's a $300 retail jobber, though.
XMas gift. Sure beats that 1.3Mp I was using.
I'm almost surprised you didn't comment on the paint coming off the intake. The intake is now in a box getting ready to be shipped to 19Mustang66 (I think that's the right guy). And, I do have a new spacer to adjust the fan, too!

We drive these Mustangs, and a little paint coming off the intake is just a badge of courage. We drive these Mustangs, and paint is going to peel.

RE: Heater hoses bypass
Someone here told me that for better circulation that you shouldn't plug these off but connect them with a hose. It was last spring when I was having over heating trouble I was informed this.So plug it or connect it , what one.

I say connect. If you plug them you don't have any circulation of water until the thermostat opens. If you connect them then there is always some water flowing through the heads and block) before the thermostat opens.

It won't over heat the engine if you don't have a problem (blocked). I just don't like deadheading the pump. Circulating some of the hot water from the pump will prolong its life.

That's an intake port for the water pump. You still have the bypass hose between the t-stat housing and the pump. Which just happens to be the same intake port. Your engine will warm up faster, but the t-stat will still regulate the temperature correctly.
