I know this is an old thread but what the heckheh shran u say that u used duff's v8 radiator correct?do u recall what size the upper bad lower radiator hose tubes are?I also see that they sell upper and lower radiator hoses for that application as well.do u know if it fits there radiator pretty well?I ask because I m having a hard time finding a upper radiator hose that will work my assessory setup.my donor is a 1995 mustang gt.and in that car the alternator sits real high up so I need a hose that has a few 90 degree bends for it to fit.im using a superior radiator I got from eBay.pretty much same setup as the northern radiator.any input would be great.
My advice: hit up the junkyard and grab as many upper radiator hoses as you can that you think might work for you. Then prepare yourself to cut and splice two together to get what you want. I used aluminum tubing from the local welding supply shop inside the splices. They gave me some small/short pieces for free. I then used a pair of Harbor Freight handheld crimpers and modified the jaws to make a set of bead crimpers out of them. Crimped beads on the ends of the aluminum tubing to get a better seal, and sanded the beads smooth.
I tried every hose known to man on my build that used a 92 Thunderbird engine (same as SN95) and nothing would fit quite right. I hated to splice stuff together but it's what I had to do in the end. I hit up junkyards, and 4 or 5 parts stores let me go in the back room to look through the radiator hose section to see if I could find an off-the-shelf solution, but nothing was quite right. I even looked in to having a custom hose made using silicone but just having one or any number under 100 of them made was stupid expensive.
Even after splicing I still had to use rubber hose "reducers" on the radiator end because the aluminum tube welded on to the radiator was too small for the hose.
