Default Seafoam help please

Ok. So I want to Seafoam my car. How do I go about doing it? I know that you can put it in your gas tank, but I want to run it through the inside of my engine. I read somewhere about sucking it in through a vacuum line? Is this correct? If so which line can I use? I have a feeling the engine I swapped in is dirtier than hell, and I want to clean the inside up as much as I can.

I did search and didn't really find the info I was looking for. Thanks for the help.

I used seafoam a while back, and your Vacume line is literally that. It's located in the back right of your engine, near your driver side strut tower and the fire wall. It's been a good year since i did it and am too lazy to go look to remind myself where it exactly is. You pull the tub off and you hear a sucking sound WHILE your car is running. Pour the seafoam in REAL slow because as you pour it in, your engine will start to die out a little, and that you don't want. Pour however much in it says to and let it sit. When you start it up again you get a shizzle load of smoke . Although this probably doesn't help much, there aren't that many tubes you can pull off in that general area, so experiment a little. I learn as I go so im not a hardened neon mechanic yet
