Radiator hose part numbers?

Three Peaks · #1 (**permalink**) 03-02-2010, 10:35 PM

I am looking for the part numbers for the two radiator hoses from the water pump to the lower radiator connection on the original style chassis. I know mine will be slightly different because I'm using a small block, but at least I will have a starting point.
Anyone know what the part numbers are for these hoses or where I can get them? Also, the 90 degree aluminum pipes for the top and bottom elbows to connect the hoses?

Thanks,
Bob

Hey Bob, I have stainless ones. The end hoses for them are straight rubber.

Nick,
I'll send you an email regarding the pieces.

Thanks,

Make a pattern from some stiff wire and take it to your local parts house, you can find one or more formed hoses that will form the bends as needed.

Installed the bottom stainless bent coolant pipe with just a couple 3" pieces of straight radiator hose at the radiator and water pump connections and it fit like a glove. Slips into the gap in the X-brace and when the hose clamps are tightened up, it doesn't touch a thing. If I have a chance in the next couple days, I'll post a pic or two.

If you guys have a chance to pick up some parts from Nick (Mickmate) you won't be disappoointed.....
