ls1 street rod build

I'm putting a ls1 in a 36 chevy truck, not much side room, lots of head room. The heater hoses as well as one of the radiator hoses need to have more angle to clear the hood side, any ideas?

The heater hose tubes can be pulled out and drilled and tapped for AN fittings.

The radiator hose you would probably have to cut and weld a different angle on it.

Move the engine to clear the heater hoses. The thermostat can be swapped out for a swivle type or one that points straight out. I have an LS1 in a '33 Ford and it fits pretty decent.
