It depends on what water pump setup and radiator you are using.
5.3 truck engine/water pump with stock 67-72 radiator - 01 v8 silverado upper and part of my old upper for the lower.

I got an "LSX" radiator with passenger side inlet and outlet. I made a upper and lower radiator hoses out of the upper radiator hose.
