Radiator Swap???

Thanks for the replies!

I found the number to the top hose that is supposed to work. The hose is a Gates 20450. NAPA has them for $13 or so.

I will have to look though as I believe the bottom hose is a different size. 1.5 inches on the slant, but the 318 is a bit larger.

Grumps... did you find that your 318 hose was larger than the outlet on the bottom of the radiator?

69sig... I'd forgotten about the old coat hanger trick. Worked parts stores years ago and was a regular deal with the engine swap crowd. I like the cleaner look of a preformed hose over a flex.

Cheers

Sorry, I for got to tell ya about the outlet sizes differance between /6 and 318...1.5 - 1.75 differance. If your inlet on the rad is smaller then your pumps outlet (like I had) of course one end will alway fit right and the other too big or too small...Due to my change I requested that my size on the rad to go from 1.50 to 1.75 to match up. All they did was find a 1.5 opening pipe sleve with a outer dia of 1.75 and weld it around.
