    Having most of my engine already done I am wondering if anyone has replaced the small, pre-bent over-flow hose with a braided line? It does not look possible to get the curve in there but I was curious if it can be done.

    You could always buy some of the braiding overlay stuff.

    Maybe if you take the water pump off and put it on that first then to the other end as you bolt it on?

    You can use the overlay stuff. but I coulnd't get the fiitings to fit because it was too tight.
