Just got done replacing the hose assembly under the intake. Pretty easy. I even replaced the o rings on that 1 fitting. I need to add coolant now. Where do I other than the overflow tank? That wont fill it up very fast.

The coolant crossover? Just fill at the overflow and let it burp. Keep topping off. I don’t know of an engine fill other than a freeze plug and that ain’t an option lol

On the driver side? There is a plug there I think I can remove to fill the system.

I've just poured the coolant in the reservoir, then squeezed the upper rad hose a few times to move it around, started it up for a few minutes, shut down and added added some more and fondled the upper rad hose again. Takes maybe 10 minutes if you stop for a beer.
