Lower rad hose? Entropy rad and truck water pump

[NC_John]

I'm trying to fit the lower radiator hose I need for an entropy (swap) rad and a truck water pump. I saw on another thread it was a 20687 but it didnt fit (too long, angles wrong). Anybody have another hose I can try?

Thanks

I assume you have a LS swap...on my lower hose I never did find one that fit....I took 2 hoses and a aluminum sleeve and made one. ..

Check out my build thread I have a part number for a hose that worked for me. I did have to shorten it but it worked great. I believe the 5th gen Camaro and truck WP are the same.

Yes....with the truck accessories.

i thought the swap radiator would have the lower hose positioned the same (or very close) as a stock newer truck

I found it in your build thread. Looks like a Ford application hose.

I played around some more with the one I got and got it good and stuck on the water pump. So stuck I had to cut it off. Since it was now non-returnable I messed around and got it to fit by cutting off both ends. It's actually a tiny bit too short. I might buy another of the same one and trim it a bit more carefully. It was NAPA PN NBH7460.

I used a NAPA 9131 with the truck pump and entropy radiator. Had to trim some of the hose to fit but it ended up fitting great.

Are the hose fittings at least the same size?

That looks like it might be a better fit than the 7460 I have on there now.

thanks

Yes, fitting on the entropy radiator and water pump are the same.

No worries, give her a shot. I went through the same dilemma and had a pile of hoses to return to Napa

i used a stock truck hose and cut the end down was little tight on the radiator side but a little lube it went on but i am using a stock truck motor and a cold case swap radiator

Ends up that this hose is way too short for my setup. Your engine must be mounted a lot further ahead than mine. I've got mine as close to the firewall as I could get it.
