Swapping in a 96 lt1 c4 into the 80 c3. I have no welding experience and don't have a welder. Where does the steampipe connect to? Can it connect it to the reservoir tank.

I'm running the stock c4 corvette accessories and the stock c3 piston. What can I install that will connect the high pressure line from the power steering pump to the piston?

Appreciate any advise.

Yes. I've read that site and it is interesting.

What could be done about the steampipe? Even if I created a surge tank as output from the steampipe where does it go from there?

All you have to do is tee the steam pipe into a hose that flows back to the radiator (if you don't have a port on the radiator to connect it to).

I do have one, it's connected. To the resvr tank.
Can I put a Y fitting on that would lead both the stream pipe and resvr tank into the fitting on the radiator?

The tube in the neck of the radiator cannot be used for the steam pipe, nor can the reservoir if it is not the pressurized kind like b-body and other cars use. F-body cars have a port below that for the steam pipe.

The steam pipe must go into a pressurized part of the return flow to the radiator or the radiator itself.

So can we have the steam pipe (#6) go into the return feed to the radiator(#14)? If so would this cause any problems to the radiator or antifreeze flow?

I'm bypassing the throttle body for my build.

Yeah, that should work.
