What are you guys using for a lower rad hose with your BBC swap. I have the long water pump and a 31X19 Griffin rad.

Why not try a peice of flex hose? As long as it can go straight from the pump to the rad (no weird bends needed along the way) it should work just fine.

Might be what I will have to do Adam, I was hoping to use a molded hose though.

Could possibly try one from a big block '70-72 Camaro... I don't know where, but I've heard of a few people doing that.
