Default Looking for picture of steam vent port on LS1 1998 (or 98-02) radiator

Hey guys,

I'm trying to get a good/decent picture of what the steam vent port on the LS1 (1998 f-body) radiator would like. Searched and having trouble finding that.

Particularly, if someone had a diagram or picture that showed both the steam vent and overflow port, that would be extra helpful.

Thanks a ton.

Am I mistaken? All right I just checked on my 98 radiator and the only port I can see is at the top, right below the radiator cap, for the overflow port. I don't see anywhere on the rad to connect the steam vent under the intake to.

Thanks again!

Bolt your 4 corner steam vent setup to your heads. There is a flared end under the throttle body that you put the hose on, the you either run the hos through the throttle body and to the lower radiator connection, or you do the throttle body bypass mod.

The radiator connection that you are looking to hook up to is the port right under the one for the overflow tank. The radiator I am showing is an original '98 one.
