Rear Steam Tubes Fast 102 Hey guys I've kinda ran into a road block. I am wanting to run the rear steam crossover tube with my new engine, however I am running the Fast 102, and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to rout it on the passenger side rear without the fittings hitting the intake.
I purchased the 4 corner Trick Flow kit very disappointed with its fitiment.
Anyone have any pics of your setup on the Fast 102?

Figured it out and completed the steam tubes today!!!
I thought about the ( KUP ) kit however with the remaining bad taste that I still had in my mouth from the other kits that I bought, I decided to go this route.

BigDB, My donor engine had the rear block off plates on it. I used them and purchased 2 new ones from the dealership. Had a buddy machine them down to roughly .575 thick, drilled the factory steam hole out it's about 1/8".
Then we drilled and taped the opposite end 1/8" NPT. Purchased ( 4 ) 1/8" NPT x 1/4" tube compression end 45 degree fittings. If you have a fast 102 you will still have to grind the radius of the 45's a little bit on the passanger side rear and the drivers side front. I probablly could of machined the thickness down a little but decided to grind it down a little. You will have to play with everything a bit but it is doable, and looks good as well.
Also you will have to counter sink the bolt holes as well.
Good luck!!!
