New to the forum curious to see if anyone has a 2nd generation lightning engine in a foxbody. I have an 87 fox with 99 lightning engine it runs but still a project. Im looking for pics and info on others out there.

Trying to find out how to make or where to buy the lower radiator hose connector where it branches off into three 1 inch hoses that go to heat exchanger and reservoir.

Dealership? Or if you have a good friend that works at a part store, go raid their hose section.

Yea I done all that...and researched hose splicers only to find y shaped adapters... I need one that has a 1 3/4" in and out with two 1" ports out one side and a 1" port out the other. Im using the stock lightning lower radiator hose with a pvc pipe union and a extra foot of napas 1 3/4" flexible hose to make it long enough to work. Its just kinda ugly and want something that looks more factory. If your having trouble envisioning the lightning lower radiator hose take a peak of one on ebay.
