Instead of selling it because the top hose is in a different location why not just get a hose that runs over to that side?

The intake duct is in the way for any type of piping and I like the port on LS style for steam vent.

you could run it like this?
I used my big block radiator for this swap

Run the stream vent to the top of the water pump. Not mine but I did mine real similar

It would also depend on which water pump you use to run that style setup
The pumps don't always came in on rh/ passenger side
if you look at my pics, I am using a LS3/7 pump with inlet on lh/ drivers side and ran my steam port inline to upper radiator hose

Also, you could always have a radiator shop or fab shop, weld in the -4an male bung at top of tank for steam port

Thanks for the feed back guys. So I've mocked up my intake and you can see how close the upper outlet is to piping. I would love not to have to buy another radiator. Here are some pics of what I'm looki at.

What about running the intake tube to the rh side?
Or is that real estate spoken for?

[CamaroAJ]

Flip that thing upside down and run it to the passenger side like jw said. It'd give you a clean short upper hose.

Sold. Ended up buying a new correct one but this time I ordered with correct outlets and got an oil cooler!

[RPitts]

BTW thanks guys for the advice!
