    Hey guys, Fitting a Hemi in a 32. Anyone got any pics of what they did with their lower radiator hose? Am running a Chev (Weiand) pump 2" outlet and have a radiator with the outlet on the lower right side also. Any photos helpfull.
    Cheers Ian

    No close up yet, I'll post that later. But on Fast Eddies car we ended up making up a tight U bend steel tube And two short separate hoses.

    You can't see it in this picture because it's hiding behind the headlight. If you still need it I can post up some pictures this week.

    I had the same problem, tried everything and ended up with this. Works perfectly. Bought 1 3/4" stainless fittings and had them welded. Two hose connectors and it fits like a glove and looks great. I have some extra fittings for sale if you want to go this route. Sorry I can't show it connected but I discovered I have a bad block and have to start over again

    here are the numbers NAPA top hose # 7460 and the bottom #7165, forget what they fit, went down with some universal that i had on there and found these that had the same curves, hope this helps.

    Ok, decided to bite the bullet and take too some 1 3/4" elbows with a hacksaw (had a long weekend and its raining). Came out quite well, now all I need is a short straight piece of 2" and 1 3/4" hose when they need replacing.
    Appreciate your advice as usual
