Upper Radiator Hose # 454 w/serpentine belt?
I have a crate GM 454 Gen VI with the serpentine belt system in my 67' and I am hoping someone has "been there done that" and can give me a part number for a molded upper radiator hose that gives adequate clearance around the alternator and serpentine belt. What I have in there now works but has just slightly more than a gnat's azz of clearance. I think it is just a matter of time until something rubs.
Anyone?

Re: Upper Radiator Hose # 454 w/serpentine belt?
I had a similar issue. I couldn't find a good fitting hose because the angles were wrong. I got a aluminum thermostat housing that swiveled. It gave me a few more options on hoses. Here is an example http://www.jegs.com/i/Billet-Special...90220/10002/-1

I used a 45 degree swivel thermostat housing and the stock hose. Just takes a slight twist to get the hose to clear the belt.

Re: Upper Radiator Hose # 454 w/serpentine belt?
Not sure, but what about a t-stat housing off of an LS engine say an '02 with the hose that wraps around behind. (originally the ac on an LS)

I'm not sure it's going to stay this way but this is what I put on mine.
