Good evening guys!
I decided to install an aluminum radiator in my 54 pickup w/235. Got a really nice one from Auto City Classic this week and as they said, it's a direct factory bolt in radiator but with a couple of exceptions. Good thing the side mounting flanges have 2 sets of bolt holes / upper & lower.
With where the lower outlet is mounted to the bottom of the aluminum radiator, it sits directly in front of the timing gear cover, clearing it by an 1 1/2. So I had to use the top holes to drop the radiator low enough to to clear the timing gear cover in order to get the hose on.
Problem is, I can't get the lower hose on. The lower outlet is 1 3/4 " but as we know. the lower hose for the 235 is 1 1/2 to 1 5/8". So, my question is, does anyone know of a similar hose that is 1 3/4", maybe from a V8?
Thanks!!
Kevin
