You mean the bottom port? The top is for the overflow.

I'll have to find my receipt back, I had that done along with custom spraybar setup in my intake so I don't know off hand how much just the coolant lines were.

I've got a setup here that I can't use with LS7 heads since they have freeze plugs and I didn't know that until after I got it.. it is all black braided nylon hose, all black fittings, the Wegners steam port adapters that Kurt Urban uses.. I paid over $230 for this but will make a pretty good deal since I won't be able to use it.. PM me if interested and I can get pictures.

Looks nice. I have not figured how we are going to run the lines on mine yet, but that definitely is a nice configuration. Where are you tapping back in to return the coolant?

Great man! Glad they showed up that quickly. Like I said it looks just like TomZ28's above pics but better IMO. I'll be looking forward to seeing it completed!

The fittings are sitting in a box on my workbench in my garage right now. My heads are on the bench as well, and my intake is on a shelf, so it's not going to be installed for a little while.

I mean urs looked good lol not saying it didn't.. I designed my setup while looking at your pictures that you posted awhile back. Only thing I did different was on the front steam ports I didn't a 45 degree fitting, but rather a 45 degree 1/8th NPT to 4an both male ends. All the fittings are black as well and the nylon line as well. I have sold it to The Alchemist though since it wouldn't work on my LS7.
