Conan steam pipe routing

Installed conan's stuff he referred me to; the pipe in the back is GM part #12605716. The front steam vent is an LS6 tube. The 3 tube fitting is here:

I've got to add clamps yet; should be a real nice looking setup and functional too.

Much appreciated conan!

Engine looks bad ***, liking the intake. Glad I could help out with the steam vent plumbing.

I did something very similar, note the black rubber hose at the bottom of the pic by the power steering reservoir going into a "T"...BTW who did your hydro?

Pat from Baytown Texas, he does great work.

Make sure to have the rear hose on and clamped before you put the engine back in the car. I forgot how tight it was back there and had to pull the intake manifold off to hook up the rear hose

Figured I'd bump this thread bc I wanted to know if anyone has tried this with a fast 102 intake manifold and whether or not it works?

The rear pipe should fit fine with it going on the out side of the oil pressure sending unit. I haven't heard of the crossover pipe in the front hitting the fast intakes so you shoud be fine there too.

What coolant pipes are you running currently ?
