On a side note. I think I'm going to angle the radiator forward and try vent the heat out of the hood. Most that do this I see them tilt the radiator back not forward but forward makes more sense to put a vented shroud around it and angle it up and out.

Their drains weld themselves in place after some mileage. They're aluminum, so they just break off. Anti seize didn't make a difference. The rubber washers under the plugs crack and break apart after a few heat cycles. McMaster Carr has some metal crush washers with a rubber insert that work really well. DE.50 set me up with a set of brass drain plugs. See if he has another set. It's not an install you want to do more than once.
