The original top truck hose snaked around to the radiator a few inches farther over to the drivers side. You'll need to splice in a fitting for the steam vent, so just cut a few inches out of the center, put the fitting in there.

Some people have blocked off the steam fittings without issues. But GM put them there for a reason, I kept mine.
Best way to add pics is open an account with a host like photobucket. They give links to post thumbs, full pics, emails, etc.

i am having trouble withe top and bottom radiator hoses the motor is from a 06 chevy i bought a few and no luck i guess i have to use a coat hanger and bend it to match ,,, what about the stat neck can it be changed

Search over at LS1tech conversion page for the T stat housing. There are aftermarket strait, angled, clockable, and even a couple ford ones that will bolt on.
