throttle body water port ?

[EricT]

I have searched for a little bit here and on the tech, I havent found an answer. I am getting ready to run the cooling hoses for my m50 swap. I know this port has a hose that runs to the throttle body heater.... I don't plan on running this in an effort to minimize clutter. Could I remove this nipple and install a plug in its place. I really dont see why not but thought I would get a second opinion.

Thanks

you could, but then you will still have the extra hose on the spider hose to deal with... just plug the spider hose one into that port...

plug extra hose from spider into port on the head. problem solved and maintains OE coolant flow.

or better yet run hose from port on head to cool a turbo
