I have a 93 Chevy 1500 single cab,short bed truck I put a 396 big block in it with an aluminum 3 core radiator and I seem to be having a difficult time finding a lower radiator hose with the correct length and bends that I need. Has anyone had this problem ? And have any suggestions? I would like to stay away from flex hose I know that would be the easy thing to go with.

 

If the inlet to the radiator is on the same side as was the 396's original radiator, then buy one for the motor, not your ride. IF that isn't the case, you have to use flex... longer is better than short.

 

Thanks..
