There is also an option to tap the water pump and plumb the steam line to the pump.

There is a nice build where the builder does the steam line to the water pump thing.

I plan to duplicate this as well. I understand that the steam lines are supposed to be the upper most portion of the engine to allow for steam/vapor to vent the engine and exit out the fill hole in the sealed 99+ radiator overflow bottles, but i believe that if the steam line is plumbed to the water pump, the steam/air/vapor will eventually be cycle out of the upper most portion of the engine and exit via the radiator in the same manor as originally designed, only differently.

If you were closer, i would be totally interested in the carcass of your donor truck.
