Hi Guys and Gals, I need some help with a measurement. My GP is 40 minutes away and I want to prefab the coolant lines that go from the rear of the intake to the thermostat spacer that I'm picking up on Friday. Can someone give me the lengths of the braided lines in the picture....thanks..:)

Monte is at home today. I can check when I get there but I don't recall any coolant passages in the rear of the intake like that. What's the purpose ?

I'd appreciate it if you can get those measurments, the purpose is to even up the head temperatures. The rear coolant port on each head is blocked by the intake. The intake has plugs at the rear which I remove to put the fitting in for the hose that goes to the space at the thermostat

Thank you very much, did your measurement basically follow the curve in the hoses in the picture? I am sending you a free quadrajet for your troubles...:D

Tuna helped me out so no need to bother unless you want to challenge Tuna's measurements and claim that free quadrajet that caused Tuna to faint from being so overwhelmed with the offer,..........thanks for you offer though
