quick radiator question

i just got a howe radiator from a board member and i didnt notice it before but it dosnt have a spot for the one hose that comes off the manifold for the heater. as of now with the stock one i have it all bypassed and it goes from the manifold right to the radiator and everything is bypassed. how i wanna know if i can some how cross that hose ( the manifold hose ) to the inlet on the driverside hose somehow. or if i can just block that outlet all together. any info will help and the sooner the better. thanks

Re: quick radiator question

what? i could hardly read that.

your trying to get the heat re-plumbed? You can run a hose from the manifold to the heater-core, and the other from the outlet on top of the water pump to the heater-core, thats who my car was plumbed

Re: quick radiator question

my water pump doesn't have an inlet besides the one from the radiator. i guess what i really want to know is if it is okay to block it coming out of the manifold or is that not a good idea. i don't have a heater core at all. the only other thing i can do is punch a small hole on the side of the radiator and weld in an small piece of pipe so it will work like it is now with the stock radiator. as of now i have it going form the bottom of the manifold right back into the radiator. i would rather if possible block it off altogether.
