Putting JDM engine in!!! :D

Can't help with pics, my car is a GE+T. You can look at the EPC for the heater hose routing... the coolant hard pipes on JDM MKIIIs (it may have just been a Cressida thing, never got confirmation on that) was different than on the USDM engines, so you may have to get creative.

[strike]Here's the EPC page:
http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Librar...spx?F=1603&P=2[/strike]

EDIT: whoops, I forgot you're not running a GTE... it's freezing and snowy as... well, a VERY cold, snowy place... outside right now, so no help with pics. As for the coolant hose routing: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Librar...spx?F=1603&P=1 You'll see there that one of the ports on the passenger side is capped.

NOTE: NEVER cap a coolant or oil line if you're deleting it unless you're POSITIVE it is safe to cap. Many hoses which see to serve no purpose are there for a reason... if it was safe to just cap them, Toyota probably would have... for example, there's a hose on the side of the thermostat housing on the N/A, it's a pressure relief; Without it the thermostat could fail to often. Other hoses like this on other vehicles serve as anti-cavation devices (prevents erosion of water pump, water passages and so on). There is also the potential of creating high and low pressure spots in the cooling system... VERY undesirable. Just figured I'd mention this since you brought up the topic.
