Heater Hoses !

[43scotty]

Hi, can anyone help with identifying the hoses that run to the heater valves from the engine bay on a 4.3 grif, I have removed the engine and needed to cut these in the process, they are stamped as ford items but can’t see any other reference.

Thanks

I'm going to dump the whole heater sistem soon, do you have any pic of the heater parts in a Griffith? I guess I'd need to do it whith the engine out of the bay, isn't it?

Do not have any photos, the hoses connect at the rear of the engine to seal pipes run under the valley, they then go through the side bulkhead to the heater valves above the battery. I found it easy just to slice the hose but you could ease the hose off with a little struggle.

So why are you ditching the heater?

Weight and aiming for a cleaner engine bay...
