    I am sure this is possible, but I am not just sure what to buy. I want to remove the heater hose from my firewall to the water pump and thermostat housing. I want to have the cleanest possible look. I do not want to loop the hose from one to the other, I want to actually cap them off. how do I go about it? is there a part I need to buy?

    putting caps on makes it look tacky...
    remove the heater core, put...rubber plugs...in the firewall. next, take the nipples out of the water pump and replace them with...freeze plugs...cleaner look...:thumbs2:

    or get an...E-water pump...that has no heater ports...:yup:
