rad hose numbers to fit 3 row champion rad? - 05/30/12 10:07 PM

my champion rad came with the top hose opposite the existing drivers and since the rad is shorter vertically i was wondering which hose to use on the bottom?

has any one had trouble lining up their tranny lines because of the diff. in the height of the hook ups?

this is an e-body big block

You didn't really expect a generic aftermarket replacement to drop right in place of a stock radiator ... or did you ???

Why not just use the flexible stainless stuff with the rubber couplers? That's what i'm using for the corvette radiator in my dakota also made by champion.

I had the same issue when I put a Champion in my car. I can't get you a part number now but Car Quest had the hose I needed.
