^^^^^Big Thanks for taking care of me Bro.
Here's another Trilogy for sale. Merc posted this back in Feburary and it still hasn't sold. Not a bad deal considering it has a Stegy port job

As Trilogy owners upgrade to Whipples these S/Cs will become available more often

My hose manifold finally showed up from CNC 
I plan on keeping the stock lower tstat location. This manifold allows me to route the upper radiator hose, tstat bypass hose, and two 3/4" barbed fittings for both cylinder heads.
This is how I plan on burping the system. 5/8" hose to a tall funnel. The barbed fitting is removed after burping the system, a flush (allen head) plug is installed in its place.
My fittings have a left right orientation. I want the PS hose to route as low as possible. I want the DS hose to become the high spot in the system (no need to jack up the front end to burp the system). The air gap is installed on the DS.

Because I dont want to just seal the fitting, I want to add structural integrity to it. I may have to swap a sensor one day and it wont be an issue for me. You can put as much pressure you want on my fittings they wont come apart. It costs me more but I've never had any issues with any of my fittings
Here you go.
This is my previous setup, Evenflow cooling mod with 5/8" hose routed to the COT
After the tear down
COT delete fittings and Cobra lower intake installed (after grinding down the knock sensor bosses and swapping the heater core return tube)
Top view of the new water manifold
Side view
I plan on using the stock heater core inlet (metal hose on the PS) as a return back for the IC reservoir.
Installed my 5/8" cooling mod. No clearance issues whatsoever
DS cooling mod fitting
I will finish routing the output of the cooling mod to the heater core inlet (Siege's hose routing mod) after I install the wiper cowl. I already plumed the output of the heater core to the pipe that runs under the lower intake to the back of the water pump
All done, gotta burp it.
