    This is probably simple but does anyone know where to get inlets like these? I need my hoses routed straight forward like in the picture.

    Not that it matters, but that's a belly tank with a V8/60.

    I know. I just wondered if anyone knows of inlets like these so I don't have to do this.

    Yeah, you probably won't find anything like that for 59a style engines... Those are specifically made for that EM setup. Just get a few small elbows with short hoses to the head, then a long hose to the rad...

    In the old days we would get a copper elbow from the plumbing dept and use short hose connections to connect to the thermostat housings.

    I thought there would be too much "kink". That would solve the problem for sure.
