What do you guys think I need to do about my transmission thermostat housing on the side of my 6L80e? Do I need to cap off or maybe loop some hose? I don’t know if it will pump fluid out upon starting the motor. That wouldn’t be fun. I don’t have the factory trans lines.

You can also see the lousy amount of clearance between the header and the O2 sensor. I may relocate the bung or just plug that one and add another.
