9. RADIATOR HOSE
A. From the stock radiator hose, make two 90° elbows by trimming as
shown. The first is with 3" long legs for the thermostat housing end.
The second, with 2" long legs, is from the middle of the stock hose
and attaches to the radiator.
B. Place the stainless water pipe between the
two hoses placing the shorter leg nearer the
radiator.
C. Position the hoses and tube so there is ample
overlap for sealing and secure with provided clamps.
D. Refill radiator and coolant bottle.
A. Secure the factory spring tensioner
assembly to the Vortech belt tensioner
mounting bracket using the 1/2" carriage
bolt.
B. Replace the locking type nut on the A/C
mounting bracket stud closest to the water
pump with a standard nut.
C. Depending on Ford's manufacturing
tolerances, it may be necessary to trim
about 1/8" off the edge of the flange on the
A/C mounting bracket to provide room for
the tensioner mounting bracket.
D. Install the tensioner mounting bracket
with tensioner between the supercharger
mounting plate and A/C bracket stud using
two standard flat washers as a spacer.
Secure with two 3/8-16 x 1" bolts and
washers and a 3/8-16 nut.
E. Reinstall radiator shroud and fan assembly.
(Slight shroud trimming may be required
on S.H.O. applications.)
F. Reinstall stock accessory belt. (On S.H.O.
applications, use the supplied 888 belt for
the accessory drive.)
10. ACCESSORY BELT TENSIONER MOUNTING BRACKET
NOTE: Make sure the cooling system
is completely full. Air is often
trapped in 5.0 systems.
NOTE: Check the accessory belt
tensioner pulley alignment. It
may be necessary to add or
remove a washer to the stud
behind the tensioner bracket.
NOTE: S.H.O. V-7 APPLICATIONS - The
10-rib supercharger pulley supplied
in this kit fits close to the upper
radiator hose. More trimming than
shown in Fig. 9-a may be required.
NOTE: On S.H.O. applications, a fan
spacer, studs and nuts have
been supplied. Install these
items before installing the fan
