Those with aftermarket radiators..... All of those with a turbo setup and aftermarket rad what did you do with the head coolant crossover tube? My after market rad has one bung on the cap neck for the overflow tank... What do I do with the other hose?

I machined up a fitting at work then had it welded on. I made it the same size as the stock hose. Don't do that. Lol finding a hose was a pita. Make it the same size as the line coimg off the heads.

I stuck mine right under the neck on the radiator. But a friend of mine did a swap in an old truck and we tapped the top of the water pump, looks clean and works fine.

I would avoid tapping the rad. my griffin was very thin. I don't think you could even get 2 full threads in there.
now a water pump is probally ok, even the oil pan seemed pretty thin.
