changing TB

well, i was planning on changing it to a 60. but when i unscrewed the first bolt coolent came out, and i was wondering how much coolent i should expect to leak out when i am taking it off?

never played with a 5.0 but seen them do them on tv never seen coolant come from it, but i guess it wouldn't be much, not much at all

It's the fluid that runs through the spacer.Not much will come out.Just set an old towel under it and remove it.If you're using the 60,it won't do you much good if you're using the factory upper intake since the factory upper is 50mm.If you're using an H.O upper,go for it.If you don't have an H.O upper,get one and the t-body spacer.You can get them on E-bay for cheap,and from the Stang sights even cheaper.Now,go get the parts.
