will 13" X 1 5/8" work for my 340 ?

If I recall, it's the big block one I used. I think it's 8" x 1.5"

I think the lower hose on our Mopars is 1.5" ID.

its listed for a small block mustang 65'-70.....dumb question but does all 13" go into the lower hose, seems excessive.

Here is a proven fix that works for tight quarters running the serpentine belt setup, final setup was an 18" mechanical fan > no shroud on a high performance 440.

Solved the overheating issue of the previous electric fan setup.

It's nothing a touch with a zip disc can't fix.
