M60 non power steering belt set-up

[dirty30]

What rad are you using? E36M or Z3M? A stock M5X lower hose will work perfectly. The upper hose is a CarQuest hose, P/N 20923. I think it crosses to a Gates hose, but they should have them. A little trimming on the length is necessary, but the 2 different diameters are correct. I used the stock throttle cable bracket and an E34 V8 throttle cable, but you said yours is done, so that's out the window, lol! G/L on your punch list for tomorrow, I'll be checking for updates!

EDIT: NVM, saw your other thread w/ the Mishimoto Z3M rad... same as mine, those 2 hoses will work, they're what I'm using, as well...

I got an E39 cable but my setup is a little different than yours. We are both using the wilwood box but I had to trim the cable grommet end of the throttle bar thingy under the dash to clear the pedal box which left me with less "pull" on the cable, which left me with no other choice but to hack up my brand new $21.00 dollar bracket!

I'll take those numbers to carquest /dealer tomorrow man thanks again!

Nice post, did you get the X-over manifold back today? Patiently awaiting video of it running...

Yes I did but never got around to draining my gas tank like I hoped. I had one of those nights where I had a huge list of stuff I wanted to finish but my OCD got behind the wheel and before you know it I had 2 hours of fab work in the throttle cable bracket! It didn't help that I left my coolant pipe o-rings and sending unit at work for whatever reason. First order of business tomorrow morning is letting the gas tank drain while I install the crossover pipe, rear manifold breather and run my heater core hoses. I also need to go to see my trusty Autozone buddy and peruse their radiator hose selection.... then its go time.
