What lower rad. hose are you running? part number or what it is for? I can get my stock cut v-6 one to work, but it will be tight. Please chime in. Also, what is your temp running at, along with what kind of fan/fans you are running.

I have the 2 row 1 1/4" row radiator from Griffin.. 160 t-stat, dual flexalite 220 pullers, umm...dunno the part # on the lower rad hose, can probably check later when I get home.. I had to cut it to make it work w/the new radiator (it was too long).

Runs about 190-200 at night and about 200-210 during the day in about 90 degree heat.. I dont drive it too much when its hot outside..

ouch.. 210 is still to hot for me. I want no hotter than 190.. right now, she will get up to 230 going down the road, and i am very scared at that temp. do you have a big block or a sbc? may have to run different hoses.
