Guy's need to find a radiator hose that will fit a V-8, so its 1.5 by 1.75 at a 90 degree bend that doesn't compromise when bent....might try the Summit stainless lines but wanted to hear alternatives....I currently use a flex hose and well it works but I'm not happy with it given the tight bend between the lower radiator and pump connection.....

try here (http://www.gates.com/) under catalogues and product lit. they have all the hoses in sizes and stuff, should be able to find what you need.

There was just a post on this a little while back. the general consencous [cant spell] seemed to be to bend a coat hanger into what you needed and spend a few hours comparing until you found one that fit.

what i need to know, is what kind of radiator are you running for the 350?

Running a stock configuration radiator...got the coat hanger bent to shape but wanted to research first....will try the search again as I reset my computer

I run a Chevy 350 with a Griffin radiator. I had a hell of a time finding a hose for the lower connection.
I ended up getting two separate bent/formed hoses, cut them in half to use half of one and half of the other. Used a short piece of hard pipe to couple the two together.
I spent almost 45 minutes at a local auto parts store sizeing up all of their hoses to find exactly the right ones.
When you find the right one don't forget to write down the number somewhere.

I was able to get mine from a parts store. I have the stock radiator and 350. The hoses are long and I have to cut the section that I needed.

I have to look for the part numbers of both upper and lower hoses.

I'll let you know once I find it.
