Re: metal radiator hose
Get the Summit house brand hose like I have. Problem is, you cannot use the stock thermostat neck as the piece that covers the ugly clamps is to big & hits the throttle bracket I believe.
I don't recall what length I bought. You should measure to determine the length for your setup.

Im working on making stainless tube copys of the stock hoses I cant get the bend 100% in a one piece tube might have to do a 2 piece welded and polished tube but that would almost double the price

Re: metal radiator hose
thats what im working on makeing but I only want 2-3 inches of hose on each side, problem is the 3rd bends make the tube split :rant: probably will end up with 2 piece tube then have it tig welded and polished now aluminum or stainless?

Re: metal radiator hose
I am running one of those "ugly snake looking" metal rad hoses from summit. It does work very nice because you can shape it to fit and when the motor torques you don't have to worry about your alt fan cutting it. I did have to change my thermostat housing to a swiveling 45 degree one to make it work. I think I paid 15 for a polished swivel thermostat housing from jegs. Setup works great and I think it looks better than an ugly rubber hose. The setup ken (warmpancakes) is working on would be a lot nicer and cleaner looking. :tup:

Re: metal radiator hose
This would be a solid-mounts only part, or a tied-down motor. You could maybe put a hump hose at the radiator side, but that sucker moves a *ton* with stock motor mounts.
If I had a mandrel bender, I'd be minting downpipes. And, several flavors of hard turbo to IC pipe. And, a flat-oval pipe to replace the stock plastic x-over. And, really cool A/A intercooler plumbing...
