I finished installing a new used motor in my 06 ls. Only problem is I don't remember where the hoses from the plastic coolant reservoir go. I'm pretty sure one goes to the front where the throttle body goes but where does the other one connect? If anybody can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

No, not to the throttle body.
The top hose from the degas bottle goes to the left nipple pointed straight up on the coolant outlet pipe.

The bottom (larger) hose attaches to a metal pipe on the firewall.
How was the original engine killed?

The wife was driving the car and said there was noise coming from the engine compartment. When I went to start it, it sounded like there was nothing but metal rubbing together and it just died. Wouldn't turn over wouldn't do anything. So when I was removing the old motor I could not get the motor to turn so that I could remove the torque converter bolts. It took an 18" pipe wrench on the crank and a 4 foot cheater pole to turn it.When I finally got the motor out I removed the oil pan there was a spot on the crankshaft that was bone dry. So it looks like the journals were plugged. Although it was a good experience remove the motor, I don't think I would do it myself again. Thanks for the info.
