Title: Sho engine swap-what is this part
Post by: milligsc on November 24, 2018, 12:05:43 PM
Hi folks, im swapping a 14 engine into my 11. My 11 engine didn't have this yellow looking cap under the radiator hose connection in the pic. It has a factory looking retainer clip. Anyone know what this is?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181124/19052cac1e19f72031e7ab5ebb289e50.jpg)

There just Plastic caps to keep debris from entering IIRC! 
The RED looks like its a coolant tube its on and Yellow maybe related to the Fuel or oil pump!  Z

I suspected this is what it might be when I responded on SHOforum, but the coolant flow diagram sure doesn't look its the case ... IDK

"-The Interceptor Utility motor I got had an extra heater hose port that protrudes from the front of the motor under the throttle body below where the upper radiator hose attaches. I don't know what it's for, but I'm guessing maybe a PTU cooler or something of that nature due to the HD designation of the interceptor application. In order to delete it completely, it looked like I would have to remove one of the heads to get the coolant tube out, so I just plugged it instead."

Its a steel tube that goes somewhere under the intake.  The motor may be from an MKZ in told. Doesnt look like a shipping cap, it's got a steel spring retainer similar to the turbo piping on many cars.

Does the tube have an exit on the other side?  Did not have a pic to see ...

I dont see it exit anywhere. Looks like it terminates under intake.
