Looks awesome! :metal:

What's the purpose of a steam tube and why did you decide to use one? I've never heard of it before

Very very nice!

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Everything is looking absolutely amazing. I am so astonished how much work you have done with that thing painted. I know you said early on that you won't paint another before it's done, I am sure it takes so much extra time to make sure you don't mess up what is already done. Amazing truck. So did you say you were gonna paint the blazer next week? haha

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

The reason for the steam tubes is simple. When the gen 1 small blocks were being produced, they had a nearly identical cooling system, but...the coolant exited from the water neck in the intake, which exited in damn near the same spot the ls1 front steam ports are located. This was the highest point in the cooling system. The ls engines return coolant back thru the block downward of the head, which happens to be lower than the radiator, but higher than the rest of the system, making it a prime spot for air pockets to form.




Thank you

I just looked up the SEMA show and it says it isn't open to the public. If so, can anyone attend or do you have to own a business, how does it work?

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Looking good Eric.

You can get the steam tube adapters for the heads on ebay. Eddie it's not open to the public so you ether need a business in automotive business or you need to know someone that can get you a pass
