Default Cossie 4x4 coolant hose question

Hi chaps, quick question...
On a 4x4 cossie ( prob the same on 2wd ) the hose that comes out of the thremostat housing that goes to the bulkhead for the heater, where does the hose go to that comes back out of the heater matrix?
Basically, wont be running a heater so need to plum the thermostat outlet to where ever that hose would go.

Thank you please

On a std 4x4 the other hose goes to the oil cooler modine.

If you dont run the modine on th eengine you could plum it straight onto the outlet on the rear inlet side of the head, the one with the ECT sensor below it.

It's got a remote oil filter housing and mocal oil cooler, so i need to come out of the thermostat housing and round to the head then?

Thinking about it you could also cap off the outlet on the thermostat housing and on the rear of the head to save running a hose at all, one less water hose to worry about splitting!
