looks like the steam pipe on the back of the head on the right side is leaking from where the pipe goes into the fitting that is bolted to the head, i called the local gm parts place and was told it was discontinued any body know if this can be purchased anywhere or what should be done to fix this (brazing, jb weld, duct tape)

 

You can probably find a used one on ebay.
You can also post in the parts wanted section.

 

Send me a pm and i can help you out on how to fix it.

 

That's a good deal. Also, make sure the washers are replaced on the banjo bolts.

Another option is to buy some brass fitting and make one out of rubber hose with a tee. I did that on my LT1 and it was much easier to pull on and off.

 

Please don't post parts for sale in the "tech" forums. Take the dealing to a PM.

 

got the trans out now its super easy to get to i may just make one out of brass fittings. do you mean fittings similar to those used on carburetor fuel feed

 

It's really easy to make your own. Just use 1/4" NPT fittings on the back of the heads (tap the threads using a pipe tap so they seal properly) and some -6AN fittings/hose. There are several ways to do it, so just get creative.

Some SS Braided Hose and Fittings look so much nicer and professional. And they're only a little more expensive.

 

these are all good options guys thanks for the help id like to see pics of any of these homemade kits if possible tho to kind of get the feel for how it should look
