So I was mocking up the radiator position in relation to the engine by measuring from the engine mount holes in the subframe. The lower radiator hose is going to end up a little short to use as a fill point from the expansion tank.
I have the idea to use the heater ports on the water pump, they were going to be looped anyway so I could plumb both to the bottom of my expansion tank and use those as fill points.
Anyone see a flaw in that plan?

I stepped the thermostat outlet up to 1.75” to match the radiator hose size. I love the Vibrant bead roller.

Pulled the 3/8" nipple out of the drivers side valve cover to weld a -10AN bung in its place.
