Question Heater Hose set up

Working on the basics of my current Monster Miata rescue.


Bought the car without any heater hose connections (stubs still out of the firewall, but that is it), looking to see what everyone has used for their 5.0L Ford conversion in regards to hoses, fittings, and routing.


Thanks in advance,


Bill S.

I used some modified Mustang hoses (the 90* elbows) & made some pipes from some 1/2" copper pipe. I have seen where others have used some type of pre-made hose from a BMW, maybe?

Gates #18836 as described in the Monster manual. I haven't fit the engine yet, but I assume they fit based on previous build threads of others here. That's assuming stock fox body heater pipes.
