Upper radiator hose #
I've got a Team G manifold on my 355 and need an upper radiator hose that will fit. I had a swivel therm hsng and used a tuned port hose that went straight back from the rad but I had to put an adapter in it to make it larger. The swivel hsng didn't seal good so I'm back to a standard therm hsng and a flex hose but I want to get a formed hose that fits neat. Antone have a # and possibly a pic? I've got a stock radiator and shroud/elec fan.

What are your inlet and outlet sizes?
I upgraded to a Griffen fan and the upper rad hose fitting was larger than stock at 1 1/2", the same as the t-stat housing. The OEM has an 1 1/2" t-stat fitting but an 1 1/4" upper rad fitting.
I found a molded hose that was 1 1/2" in and out and fits perfectly using a typical t-stat housing from an early model gen 1 sbc.
If this is what you're after, I can dig up the part number and a picture.

TPI hose fits nice but comes up short at the Therm hasng. TPI therm hsng is different but so is the TPI intake manifold. The TPI therm hsng bolts are frt. to back, not side to side so you can't use that therm hsng.
My rad is stock so I guess it's 1 1/4, I'll have to look. With the new motor I think I'm going to need more rad and more fan. Been looking at the ebay aluminum radiators.
