Default Steam Crossover Replacement

I see the crossover replacement lines that just go to each head without the run to the radiator, but they don’t also sell a cap to maintain pressure on the radiator side. Anyone installed this type of crossover and what’d ya do to seal the hose from the radiator? Just a bolt or something similar inserted into the hose??

this hose bypasses the throttle body and radiator.

That will work for the rear of the intake but u really don’t need the braided line .. will need one fitting off the passenger side head to the radiator over flow line is it top most left line I’ll picture and show you what u will need plus a few rubber plugs ......



Besides the front blockers that came in that 169.00 kit all we used was the one last picture The 60 degree bent fitting pipe we actually didn’t use the lines at all just cut the fitting got into the stock tube and plugged up the throttle body with some rubber high heat temp caps ....



1 of these
