Looks real cool. What's the benefit over the stock set up?

they will go in to one more T-fitting tying the two side together, and then to the fitting in the rad next to the fill cap. just like the stock setup does.

i was think about kurts setup but i counld not think of a good way to make it look as good as this does. the lines come one way, and i want something that i made and has a low-profile. i can pull the intake and the line will be out of the way. beside that i love AN fitting LOL

it cost me 250 bucks from jegs in fittings and line

I did similar with mine, though I went low rather than high to go under my Harrop. You might notice I have a capped T in mine. I remove the cap and fill the system with coolant till it comes out the cap. That way there is almost no where for a vapor trap, since the coolant lines are the highest point in the head. You might want to consider something similar.

Pardon my silly dumb *** but aren't those lines supposed to carry coolant from bank one to bank two rather than from front to back of same banks?

they are there to get any traped air out of the head so you do not have any hot spots in the CC of the head. and then they just run to the rad.
