Is possible I guess....but I have 4 fittings and the hose is on backorder. Why sell a "kit" and not have half the parts ????

Some of my buddys just drill and tap the factory stem tubes. Then run the lines/hoses where they want.

I dunno the kit seems sorta cheap looking. I suppose if you dont care how it looks or your on a budget then this is a home run but for a little more money you could of done a KUP style setup

Post more pics when its installed maybe I'm wrong

I like the modded factory lines, or brake line idear better! But it works. I think my rear ports are blocked off- no room between the blower and valley plate for a line to run

Are you drilling and tapping the front of the water pump or are you runninga t block into the side of the water where the inlet and outlet are for the heater lines?

Yes, to the waterpump near the T-stat...on the suction side.
Most of the swaps I've seen go there or to a fitting in the upper hose.
Beings the steam/vent lines are on the pressure side, it will be fine.

I guess If I am going to spend that kind of coin I want it to look like it should be on a race car not a daily driving import,

I went with this kit

Vents steam vapor out of the head to eliminate hot spots.

The steam line was off a truck motor at the junkyard, not sure what year it was.
