I was using a molded upper hose for a '69 Dodge Coronet BB engine, but that won't fit now. Has anyone found a molded upper radiator hose that will fit? The photo is of the Griffin I installed. 7139418-griffinrad.jpg (55 downloads) Last edited by Junky; 03/30/12 09:04 PM. 2010 Black Challenger SE <> 3.5 V6 Custom Shift Knobs www.flameball.com Check It Out

I'll post later on the results for anyone that runs in to the same situations. 2010 Black Challenger SE <> 3.5 V6 Custom Shift Knobs www.flameball.com Check It Out

I'll need to cut a section out of it, then back together, with a aluminum tube inside custom made by a friend, with a shrink wrap clamp. I'll post photos when I'm done. Cars/Trucks that it will fit is: Buick Electra 225 6.6 L 400 CID V8 1966 - 1966 Buick Electra 225 7.0 L 425 CID V8 1965 - 1966 Buick Riviera 7.0 L 425 CID V8 1966 - 1966 Buick Wildcat 6.6 L 400 CID V8 1965 - 1966 Buick Wildcat 7.0 L 425 CID V8 1965 - 1966 Ford Custom 5.8 L 351 CID V8 Cleveland 1974 - 1974 Ford Custom 6.6 L 400 CID V8 1973 - 1974 Ford Custom 500 5.8 L 351 CID V8 Cleveland 1974 - 1974 Ford Custom 500 6.6 L 400 CID V8 1973 - 1974 Ford Galaxie 500 5.8 L 351 CID V8 Cleveland 1974 - 1974 Ford Galaxie 500 6.6 L 400 CID V8 1973 - 1974 Ford LTD 5.8 L 351 CID V8 Cleveland 1974 - 1974 Ford LTD 5.8 L 351 CID V8 Modified 1975 - 1976 Ford LTD 6.6 L 400 CID V8 1973 - 1976 Mercury Grand Marquis 6.6 L 400 CID V8 1975 - 1976 Mercury Marquis 6.6 L 400 CID V8 1973 - 1973 Mercury Marquis 6.6 L 400 CID V8 1975 - 1976 Mercury Monterey 6.6 L 400 CID V8 1973 - 1974 Meteor Montcalm 5.8 L 351 CID V8 1974 - 1974 Meteor Montcalm 6.6 L 400 CID V8 1973 - 1976 Meteor Rideau 500 5.8 L 351 CID V8 1974 - 1976 Meteor Rideau 500 6.6 L 400 CID V8 1973 - 1976 2010 Black Challenger SE <> 3.5 V6 Custom Shift Knobs www.flameball.com Check It Out

What you have planned sounds like a lot of work, I haven't heard of other people needing to go that route.

Hardest part was finding the right hose and that only consumed maybe 30 minutes looking through NAPA's stuff, and maybe posting on here about it. What hose is that of yours? 2010 Black Challenger SE <> 3.5 V6 Custom Shift Knobs www.flameball.com Check It Out
