Coolant line cap off ? ka24e

What coolant lines can we cap off? What about the heater core? Can we bypass it? Mustangs do it.....

If you look at the intake manifold, there will be a few small coolant lines around the throttle body and mid section of the manifold going down towards the block. All those can be removed. You will simply run a small section, about a foot or so, of tubing from the nipple around the thermostat to the metal hardline that runs just under the manifold.Before you try this, I suggest you really look at the lines, or go to a junkyard and get a really good look at a manifold.As far as the heater hoses go, it would be the same thing. You simply loop the two heater hoses together at the engine block.I don't know if you expect to gain anything, I did it simply to clean up my engine bay. I still run the heater though.

well I plan on trying out an electric heater and see how that works If I like it I'm installing it with a power inverter that runs off the cigarette lighter.
