OK, apparently I don't know anything.
That being said, I already have a crossover tube on the front (just from head to head) and I'm leaving it there. It may even prove to be beneficial for cooling.
Does anyone know the sizes of the fittings for the rear, so I can get some located and installed?

The fitting size info has previously been mentioned in this thread.

His next two posts were included just to make the point about how clueless he is.
He has obviously never put any coherent thought into the coolant flow and what air pockets would naturally try and do.
The overwhelming majority of us understand they will stay high as possible and coolant flow will push them rearward.

Instead of the remarks and bickering that is about to happen,the OP does not know enough about Lt1s so HELP HIM OUT!
It will be to your benefit to place the steam port out back where it was designed to be.
If you choose to leave the steam ports hooked up to each other and up front you will only be shifting steam from one side to the other without dissipating into the mainstream. At that point you will have cooling problems,you will pop a headgasket,crack the heads etc. at some point.....

Where does the end of the steam tube go? I have a carbed lt1 in my 85 mcss and i dont have the steam tube hooked up. i dont have any overheating problems. the car sits nice at 170/180 degrees.
