Water Pump - AN heater hose connection Looking at how close the heater hoses run to the control arms of my 69 camaro with an LS2. I track the car so I'm concerned about the hoses rubbing..
I have seen it mentioned about running AN fittings. Curious if anyone here has done it and any recommendations.
90 degree fitting with NPT threads and straight on hose vs. straight fitting with NPT threads and 90 degree hose fitting. Flow difference between the two.
Thanks for any input.

Does anyone know if two 90 npt to an fittings will fit in the water pump or will they hit each other when installing the second one ?

Dam thats what i was thinking . Not so worried about the extra money ( this project is on big money pit lol like everyone elses ) but the swivel 90s arent as tight as the other style . I need as much clearance as i can get . when i built my turbo headers i didnt account for the heater hoses . Ill have enough room but just want them as far away from the header as i can keep them

The other C3 corvette guys like me have the same issue. I went for the male to female 90 degree fittings in the pic because they were the shortest. I've seen others drill, tap about 45 degrees above the existing ports. Mine were the shortest solution I could find using the existing holes.
