When converting to a V8 radiator which rad hoses fit best? Should I just get a set for a 86-7 GN?
Thanks, Kevin
 
I have a V-8 radiator in my 84 T-type.I bought the hoses for stock car.Only problem,and it's not really a problem is,With the radiator as far as it can go to pass. side the other end sticks out from under the shroud like 6 inches.Normally the hose follows tight to the shroud on the driver side.This is not the case with the wider radiator.So because the hose hooks up say 4-6 inches from stock location,my kenne-belle cold air intake has a tighter fit and the hose dosen't really sit down in the half round hose bracket on the coil pack/ign. mod.HTH
 
Get a Gates P/N 21188, fits like a glove.
Chevy van, I think, but you trim a little
on the ends and it fits just right.
I have these on 2 of my hot air cars
with bigger radiators. HTH
