Okay I see. Why not try your hand at fabbing up some headers? Truck Manifolds are a very good option but I'm more partial to Tubular Headers I guess.

Tom
The breather filter you have on the driver valve cover, is the arm band on there to stop the little oil that drips out after making a few runs.

I was thinking about doing the same thing

If you look at the "How to DIY a Truck Manifold Setup" thread at the top of the page it says that the Radiator everyone uses is to small.

Yeah I wasn't that sure eitherr but I also recall it not having a "steam port" or the level sensor, but I guess you don't really need them. Oh and for you mister, I just read your whole build and it just stopped! Get back to work!

Thanks about my build! But Not to ***** up the OP thread...

Yea that radiator does not come with a steam port, people either tap a bung or weld in a bung with a barb fitting and ur done. Either way u look at it this general purpose radiator for $180 is still a lot cheaper then $600 for a stock replacement and a ton of people use it with excellent results. BUT again to each there own...
