Modifying the cooling system..

[tumbler33]

Due to the condition of my coolant crossover when I got my marauder project and how expensive it can be to find one in decent condition I was wondering how some of you guys have modified your cooling routes? I am looking at On 3 Performances crossover delete kit. But to add to this I am curious if I could just fabricate lower radiator hoses that go straight from the lower coolant port on the block to the bottom port on the radiator? So up top I have the kit going from the top of the block to the top port and in effect simplifying the cooling system? Thoughts? Any helpful feedback is appreciated:)

Also I am wanting to keep my heater core hooked up and I believe the delete kit allows for the heater lines to hook up correct me if I am wrong.

You can modify the lower radiator hose to work with the Xover delete kit, and the two hoses coming off the heads go straight to the thermostat housing , there is no reason to interrupt the heater core.
