Anyone running be cool radiator with black hose? I have a coolflex hose on now, and want to go back to a black hose with Billet ends. The stock hose for a 440/Hemi does not work, it does not go far enough over to reach the inlet on the radiator. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have a look at the Dayco 70434 hose. I think that is the number I used for mine. It has to be trimmed to fit but it has the correct length and bends once you cut a fair portion of it off. I'll check this evening to make sure that is the right number.

Mine does not have a shaker so can't say for sure it will clear but I would think that it cold be trimmed shorter at the thermostat housing to lower it to clear. I'll get the number tonight and take a picture at the same time. NAPA should be able to cross the Dayco number. Just be aware that the hose has another bend and an additional 12-14" of length so when you initially see it, it looks totally wrong but once you cut it down, it works fine.

I must have the number wrong. Overall length was probably 30-34" .

Why not take a coat hanger and bend and cut it to the shape and length you need. Then head to the parts store and find a hose that will match.

Called the company I bought it from and they were able to look up my invoice. Dayco part number is 70734. Here is a link to the hose on Dayco's site.

Do you have the 1,000hp setup, where the tank sits on the inner fender? I can get you some gates #'s tonight when I get home if so.

And finally, this picture shows the piece that was cut off the original hose. (The part sitting on top of the rad)
