ok so i finally got my engine back in this evening. im just wandering about a few things. there is an inlet in the water pipe that idk what hooks up to it. its in the back next to where it bolts to the transmission. my turbo oil line rusted out. should i go with a flexible stainless steel line or replace it? also i am getting a new radiator mount soon cause mine rusted out. any tips on removing/install would be appreciated. what size are the bolts that go through the crossmember and into the radiator mount and where to get the rubber pieces? i can upload pics if needed.
 
Water line: goes to your heater core.
$30 for as line, so yes, best to do that.
Personally, I would change out the core support before dropping in the engine. As for the bolts, I think you could get those from a 420a car. So go to the junkyard and grab some, along with the rubber bushings
 
ok. yeah i wanted to do the mount first but i had the engine ready to go in and ive had it apart for too long. have you done a mount before? is it just drill out the welds and put the new one in and weld it up? i don't have a junkyard around here that has cars. just scrap metal. also i got the heater core lines hooked up its a smaller inlet pointing straight up on the pipe
 
ok so i found the flav line. what i thought was the oil feed line for the turbo actually is the hard line that goes from the thermostat housing to the oil filter housing/oil cooler. it is rusted out. ive searched and can't find a ss line to replace it. any ideas on what to replace it with?
