5.7 GSIPEFS Power Steering Cooler Mounting??

[Lubak572]

Does anyone have any good pics of how the power steering cooler and hose is mounted? I am just finishing putting my new 6.2's in, and it appear the outlet/discharge hose hits the y-pipe pretty good. I upgraded to stroker motors, but the physical external dimesions are the same size. I can't remember and don't have a pic of how that was in there when I removed motors last winter.

On my Mercruiser 6.2 MPI adapter housing there is a 5/16” threaded hole for a stud at the very top. I just had the same problem yesterday when I reinstalled the engine. The person who installed the engine previously did not mount the cooler. I used a 2” stud with a spacer and the cooler hoses clears the “Y” pipe on both sides. And there is also a 3/8” threaded hole at the top of the block.

Mine goes on the hole in the bellhousing at an angle, which appears to be right due to the S hose on the inlet only fits one way. Just seems the outlet hose is wrong somehow.
