I can get a fresh one for you but it won’t be until this weekend, for now if you look back at post 58 you can see the crossmember and the hose passes through it, when it exits the other side it hugs the fuel tank opening. You can see the hole cut for the return side where I hadn’t plumbed that hose yet. I kind of borrowed the idea from the “RSR LS conversion” thread. Page 10 you can see he has the coolant lines route through the crossmember! I used a 1.5” hole saw. And sanded the bore smooth to play nice with the hose.

Hope to see some videos of the car too,

Vacantsky, I see the hole now. If you do get a chance to photo the crossmember and the and how it hugs the fuel tank and goes from there to the radiator. Look great. I really like where you mounted the water pump. Out of the way! You used a regular 1.5" metal hole saw blade? or a stepped dril bit?
Thanks,
Yan
