radiator hose ???

[rojo1]

OK I'm having problems finding a radator hose that will fit from my 74 stock radiator to my 89 efi 302. I was wondering since this is a popular swap, If anyone here has done it and if they have a hose part number to help with my problem.

TRhanks in advance

B.C. broncos has a cross over pipe for that, there is also a radiator with the proper inlet/ outlets. Is that all you have left in the swap?

LOL I wish I still have an electrical nightmare that I'm strugling through. I'm almost got it though ( I think). But other than that I have cosmetic stuff like paint and seats and a nice cage. But I figure by mid summer she'll be on the trail.

Oh But thanks for the info on the cross over pipe.

Have you considered a CoolFlex hose ?

I've looked at those style of hoses. Maybe not those in particular, But I was told that the metal ribbing like to rust away and they loose shape. But I'm really starting to consider those, Just because there goiing to be a whole lot less seams and problems with them.

Well since it comes with a lifetime guarantee who cares ? I've used them a few times in the past and been perfectly content w/their performance. CoolFlex is the best name *I* know of in the business. Just my $0.02

Well bill I decided to go with one, Less hardache for now, and I know it'll work till I get the money for a custom aluminum hose.

Post back after you get it. The look grows on you & the stainless is real nice. When you pop the hood folks stare at it like crows fixated on a shiney object.

sure will post pics, when I get it although I last night I really screwedup. (put a small hole in the radiator) Don't ask a stupid mistake on my part. Mental note to self drill bits and radiators don't mix. So today off to a repair shop to get that one fixed.
