One more question. What radiator did you use? I seen you covered it when you talked about the fans but I was wondering what you did about the steam port. I am researching LS swaps and I keep seeing "steam port" come up. Dunno what it is but seems you gotta have it.
Sure, clone away! The TB adapter was water jetted from 1/2 aluminum plate. The outside is shaped exactly like a square bore carb gasket and the inside has a 75mm hole.

The radiator is a stock 4 core '72 C10. I just had the nipple for the heater outlet brazed shut. My steam line runs from the pipe between the heads to the back of the waterpump. You can see it fairly well in this photo. It's just a rubber hose.
