don't do the smooth bellow.

the one you get from places like SLP is 99.9% visual mod.

and there have been issues with lids cracking when using the none flexible fernco pieces. the engine twists alot under load.

How do you reroute the coolant around the throttle body? And what is the bump stop mod?

I just bought a 2 foot 5/16" coolant hose from carquest for $1.50 to bypass the throttle body, makes for a pretty clean look.

Bump Stop Mod> If you manually open your throttle, you will wee the manufacturer has the casting where the throttle will hit and stop at WOT, notice the throttle plate is not completely open, its about 90% open, so you carefully grind the casting material so the throttle opens all the way, when done properly, you would look at the front of throttle body in the WOT position and see the plate is straight across, equal space top and bottom, like a minus sign hehe.
