silicone radiator hose?

[mopar199]

Does anyone know if silicone radiator hoses are being made for small block 360 1972 Plymouth Dusters upper, lower and bypass. I like that they are a gloss black compared to the dull stock hoses.

For the bypass hose, There is the silicone one from Mopar under P/N P4876373. It is black silicone (w/red'ish colored lining) and comes in a box with two worm clamps. I purchased one through Amazon for $21 about 5-6 weeks ago, because it was cheaper than Summit w/shipping. Although, Amazon and Summit now both show it as "no longer available". When I ordered mine a few weeks back I was surprised to find it was still available, but Mopar may have finally stopped it. I would hope that somebody still has some on the shelf, somewhere.

As for the upper and lower radiator hoses, I am not aware of anyone making them in silicone, but I would be interested too if there are (as long as they're not blue like the Goodyear ones you used to see on the Ford 5.0's)
