Re: what is everyone doing 4 the steam line?
I have a line running from my steam outlet on the heads to the bung on the rad that a heater hose used to connect to. Going to switch to an LS1 rad and run it back to where the original LS1's ran to.

I swapped my 3rd gen radiator for a 4th gen, and just ran the hose normally.

LT1 or LS1? Both have a steam line, and in two totally different places...
