Default Questions on how to make this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1
The guy used to have one of these made with Braided hose and AN fittings. Anyone know what size AN fittings these are? and what size NPT the coolant fittings are on the back of the heads? The guy that sold these was a tool and said these were coustom fittings that only he made. He's now no longer on EBay so oh well.

Thanks

Pete

From cz28.com:

FWIW, the price that that guy on Ebay wants for that kit is really not that bad a deal. Whichever way you go, you're gonna need at least 5 -AN fittings and a "T" to make this work, and that stuff adds up QUICK.

Also, you're correct about the guy's claim that the fittings in his kit are custom made: they're actually just Earl's fittings.

That anwsered most of my questions! I just have to get home and figure out the what thread goes into the back of the heads. I looks like it might be this but im not sure

or this one

If anyone knows for sure please LMK. Alot of the guys on there were argueing back and forth weather a NPT fitting would work or not.

Thanks

Pete

I looked into that little idea, the one thing that stopped me was that the line is a certian diameter to cause the steam to actually condense back into liquid coolant. I read that on a GM LT1 Technical site. Don't remember where it was. I would wonder who actually bought it, and see how long it works for them.
