Hey guys I'm wondering what you used for a radiator hose with the LS swap?

Re: 5.3l radiator hose
What rad. are you running? I have a 88-98 type rad in mine of course I don't have a ls motor in this one. I do in my 68 gto convert and the same rad with the 6.0 upper hose I think. Jim

Re: 5.3l radiator hose
Just the stock 2 core radiator. I'm wondering if there's a hose for the top that has a very clean look

Re: 5.3l radiator hose
5.3 in my 67 using a stock 99+ truck upper hose. Its not clean looking. Switching to a camaro water pump might help a little or get a radiator with the inlet and outlet on the passenger side.
I'm using part of my old upper rad hose for a lower with the ls swap. If you're running a CAI you can route it low and to the drivers side, that helps things look a little cleaner. I get a lot of compliments on my setup but I think a different radiator would be the best route.
