Im going into my second winter with my 240 but I need some help.When I bought my 91 240 it had no motor in it so I found a 1995 motor and installed it in the car. What I need help with is this on the engine and on the heater core which hose is the inlet and which hose is the outlet. Since I didn’t have an engine to look at i just connected the inlet and outlet on the engine with a single hose. So now that it is getting cold I’ve decided that heat is the next modification that i need to make to the car. What hose goes where?:help

If it didnt matter then uhh the heater stuff would come from the same spot on both hookups.

I've yanked an awful lot of motors and even hooked the hoses up backwards on purpose and it never mattered. The main reason that they ran the one hardpipe so far was because of the turbo cooling line. Hardpipe is more expensive than rubber lines. The reason they didn't run them both to the same spot was just cost.
