Radiator Hose Question
 
I have a 283 located setback to the rear position in my 68. Problem is the standard radiator top hose(24 inch long) is too short to reach. Any suggestions out there or apps that might work on my setup? Thanks Guys

Try a website called coolflex.com. I have the red hoses on mine and it looks pretty sharp. Life time warranty and you can cut them to fit. Longest top radiator hose is 3 ft I think.

You might want to use a 4X4 set up which has a metal pipe and two shorter straight hoses for the end.

'72 with a 350. My motor is mounted to the rear as well so I know it works.

I like the look of Andy's better though.

See my 250-350 swap thread.
