Trick Flow coolant crossover
Trick Flow coolant crossover I'm wanting to plumb all four corners of my steam vents before I reinstall my intake. I'm playing hell finding a factory 97-00 one so I'm looking at going with the Trick Flow setup. Does anybody have any experience with it? Pics of the installed setup?

Another option for a lot less money is to run factory GM tubes with a tie in. I used the factory LS3 for the front and the rear is for a 6.0 out of Tahoe/Suburban if I remember correctly. A little added tubing and some compression fittings and you have a nice custom setup for less than $50. Check it out toward the bottom of the page on my build thread.

I bought one for my LS1, it cost about $250 in Australia at my mate's trade price and then I still had to buy additional fittings to adapt it to suit my set up with a FAST intake so I wasn't thrilled. To me it seems to be made to suit a 4 barrel type intake, it wound up being an expensive exercise but otherwise it seems to work ok as far as I can tell.

Verdad Gallardo UPDATE:
The Trick Flow kit will not work with a BBK intake without grinding on the back passenger side corner of the intake. I was trying to reinstall my intake yesterday with the rear steam ports hooked up and the passenger rear one was making the intake sit about a 1/16" off from the bolt holes in the heads lining up. Being that I have been messing with trying to get all four corners hooked again for over a month this was the last straw and I just hooked the front 2 up using the Trick Flow pieces. Being that the install sheet you get from Trick Flow shows a 4 barrel intake, I'm assuming this is what the kit is designed for. Now I am just where I started with the front to port connected and they make connecting the EVAP and PCV hoses much more difficult due to them being much taller than a factory coolant crossover.
