why can't you use the oil cooler?

I see you guys cut the coolant hoses on the thermostat housing. Was that just to save time or were they a bitch to get off?

Just going to order the parts to make it work...damn hose is $100 lol.

The coolant hoses were cut by the yard I bought the engine from.

Fingers crossed the car gets fired up for the first time this week!
