I'm doing a swap right now and I'm running the stock mustang rad. I don't have a coolant hose to even run the coolant through the tb. What are my options? Can I remove that crossover tube from both heads and block them off and just cap the tb lines? Thanks

DO NOT BLOCK OFF THE LINES FOR THE HEADS! They are needed for steam expansion for the cooling system. The throttle body coolant crossover can be delete without any problems unless you plan on driving it in super cold weather. It is meant to keep the throttle plate from freezing.

My problem is the ls1 cars have a coolant hose that goes to the front of the tb, I don't have that line to be able to bypass it.

Take a line straight from the crossover to the radiator. Forget about the throttle body , everyone on here deletes that part of the routing. But do not cap off the crossover EVER

Where does it go on the f body rad? Does it utilize a overflow line or what? I have a mustang radiator

on the fbody it goes to a tube that is right under the radiator cap so basically the radiator

Guess I need a different radiator

I think some people run it up to the heater lines, some drill a fitting into the top of the water pump. I pretty sure it needs to be the highest point in the system. If you search long enough, you can find some pics.

I tapped the unused bung on the waterpump on one swap. I made a fitting to rap into the upper radiator hose on the other. Jags that run sells a fitting specifically for this, or you can find a generic one and make ir work.
