I went to the NAPA (where I finally found one) parts store and looked at all the pre-formed hoses there. I picked one that had the closest bend and was the right diameter then just cut it down 'til it fit right. Worked great and koojs good too.
I don't even know what car the hose might have been for, only that it had the correct, or close enough, bend si it wouldn't kink.

For the bypass hose - how abouts this big block Olds bypass piece? Installs to a down angle but could do a 90 degree I think.

I thought you posted a green firewall and you were swapin the whole thing out.
I was saying Just patch it up and weld it well
That patch panel is from the green firewall. When I started I assumed I would not need to install the whole thing but was preparing for the worst if the stampings were "Off."
Glad it didn't come to that.
I did have to weld and redrill the bolt holes from 4 to 3. No biggie.

Engine looks very nice. 
Is this a 5.9 roller engine or an LA 360 with the magnum heads? Looks like an LA timing cover and water pump. 
Might want to freshen up the trans or at least tighten the bands since it's about to see double the power it's used to.
It is going back to Marcus for some "Anger Management" classes.
He has a 9 second '69 Charger, and helped me build that trans back in '00.

Using the same transmission?!
Yes. Stay tuned...Don't change the channel! We'll be right back! 
I am more worried about the 8.25. I had one rebuilt back in '96, blew it up in '00 and blew it up again by '02.

Have you seen his guest room at Stu's? 
Wow, that is WAY nicer than what I am accustomed to. Given my track record at Stu's I am not so sure how happy his wife would be about me crashed out in the driveway though.
