Hello everyone. Trying to get my 1952 Chevy deluxe styleline roadworthy while keeping the 216 engine intact. Needless to say I bought a new radiator that was v8 ready and didn't realize the radiator neck would be 1.5". So trying to save money by not having to buy a 235 engine thermostat housing.
My question is can you use a 1.5" radiator hose with the 216 thermostat housing? I know its 1 1/4" diameter just never tried a that big of a gap before. Worst case I could try and find a local with a 235 engine that I could buy the thermostat housing from. I'm from Towanda, KS.
