Third, where did the air intake setup come from; did you make it or is it a factory setup that you have adapted? (If you made it, where did you get the tubing?) Can you eleborate on the steam vent on the water pump? Where did you take the line after connecting to the pump? I am trying to figure out all of what I need for the LS-1 to make it good. I already have a "Be-Cool Radiator fitted for a LS series motor. I haven't even started thinking about a fuel tank--looks like the Fuel Cell Guy did you right.

1) rattle can PN 1615 high temp aluminum
