Default LS Steamline Routing (I know don't plug them off)

I am getting my AN parts list together and wondering about my line routing.

5.3 from a 2004 Silverado going in a CJ7. and need to know if I can run from one head to another then to the radiator and skip going to the Throttle Body. OK or not? Live in Michigan so it does get cold here not like artic cold but i'm not sure when Icing can occur in the Intake.

Also the rear ports are blocked, Leave them blocked? or just add a line tieing the 2 heads together?

Thanks, Scott

Yes you can run port to port to radiator.

I like to get all four corners working.

Here's what I did with my steam ports this time around... The rear crossover tube is from a cadillac, GM part #12605716. The front cross over tube is from the ls6. Here's the rear cadillac crossover...





Here in the green square is the front (GM # 12602544) ls6 crossover...

I ran mine like this, with the intake on it routes right next to the fuel rail and the front cross over runs under the neck of the intake. came out really nice for only having about $40-45 in it total

Nice - what are those fittings where it attaches to the heads?
