Working on getting parts assembled for eventual build for my 70 383 roadrunner (w/22" radiator)

What is the proper lower radiator hose for a '70 BB with 383 and 22" rad? Everything I see out there just says good for 383/440 and 440-6 for '70 lower but does not specify rad width.
There is a couple inch difference between the 22" and 26" inlet position centerline.
Maybe it doesn't matter? Maybe it would need to be trimmed to fit a 22" rad? No vendors specify anything like that.

Any insight appreciated

Lower is the same regardless of radiator size.

Is the lower radiator hose on the driver side, I’ve seen them on passenger side too.

My 22" has it on the drivers side. I replaced both my hoses ordered through Roger Gibson.

The lower hose is basically in the same spot whether it's 22 or 26, the added difference in rad width is on the passenger side. the engine size doesn't matter because the waterpump housing is in the same location.


running up my post count some more .
