Or any idea how it goes on?
Trying to figure out how it works, and so far it does not look like it will work with a EB with stock radiator and 5.8.
Anyone have any pics?
I'd hate to start triming this thing up, if its does not work, I am sure the guy would rather just return it.

Should work just fine if it's the one I'm thinking of (I'm assuming you're not trying to keep the stock oil heat exchanger unit that came on some later 5.8s). The 90 deg. rubber hose goes on the radiator end and the piece with the slight bend in it goes onto the water pump end.

Here are some pics at the bottom of this link if this helps:

Or am I totally missing something here?

Thanks todd, currently it has no radiator in it, so I am just feeling for where it went, although this guys looks like he has a lot more bend it in then yours, I will be out there again this weekend so I at least know what hoses go where.

OK, yeah, take a look because the bottom two pictures show the piece that is currently sold, to the best of my knowledge, by BCB.

No,
I just used the flexible stainless steel radiator hoses, it was much simpler. I was also a little concerned with motor movement that there could be a leak due to the fixed portion of that hose. You CAN even use one of the long kits for the lower and use the excess portion along with the factory hose bends and insert it between them to make a upper hose.

My local cost was $72 and it was well worth it IMO.
