LS swap guys - What radiator hoses?

I should be able to start and run my LQ9/4L80 swap this week, but I haven't looked for radiator hoses yet. What are you guys running?

Thanks

Re: LS swap guys - What radiator hoses?

I'm running a corvette front drive accessories, so mine is a little different, but I bent a coat hanger in the shape that I needed and took it to the parts store and found something close. I had to splice in a short section of metal tubing (exhaust tubing maybe??) to get the length right.

Good luck

Not a bad idea. My pops has an 08 Tahoe, and it looks like a hose set from one of those might work.

Forgot to mention...I'm using a 4-core. Anyone else running the same with the truck accessories?

I ran the stock rad with mine. I used the stock tahoe/silverado upper hose, almost perfect fit. the lower hose i did the bent coat hanger trick and measured the water pump and rad nipple sizes.
