So I got a bigger rad for my 1972 Scamp (225 slant six) to replace my failing original one, from my good friend ifitsgotwheels, and I believe the rad. Now this rad I believe is a small block rad, I know it fit in a '67 Barracuda with a 273.
My issue is my lower rad hose is too long now, to fit on it had to get a mighty large kink in it (because the slant six rad lower hose attachment was just a little thing that came straight out of the bottom of the rad, and this V8 one is longer and aims at about a 45 degree angle upward) and I'm wondering what vehicle I should get a rad hose from? Is it possible to get one custom made? I notice they tend to come pre-shaped. I've never had to even think about hoses before so I don't know much about what to do in this situation. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
