Hi there, new to the kit car scene and I’m looking to get some help locating water pipes for the pinto engine. 
 

not sure if I have the proper radiator that’s needed so any help would be appreciated. 
 

here is what it looks like 

 

Hello and welcome to the kit car scene!

I have recently rebuild my pinto engine and what I have done was to order generic silicone pipes and elbows and put them together.

I got mine from Versatile Silicone Hoses for Automotive and Industrial Needs - Silicone Hose UK

Also, if you need ta connectivity diagram, this is the best one I have found and helped me to put the system together.

I am assuming that the pictures are looking down on the header tank of the radiator ?, personally I hve not seen one like this before. Anyway, if it is the header tank then you have noticed the small outlet/inlet on the RHS. If there is no filler with pressure cap on the unseen part of the header, then this small pipe is probably where a seperate header tank is connected. It would be somewhere in the engine bay mounted higher than the higest point of the engine water jacket. It's probably plastic and has a pressure cap.
