91 rs 305 tbi to 350 tbi

im having difficulty finding a top radiator hose for my 350. the local parts store gave me one for the 305 and the hose rubs on the cerpantine belt, i just need a longer hose. anything would be useful, i really want my camro to be going and this particular project is taking way longer than it should.

also i want to know how much im looking at for a ls1 swap. i need to know what i need, as by conversion parts, computer swap ect.

There's a sticky in the top section of this forum about the LS1 swap. It is a bit pricey, but the results are attractive enough that many have done it, and the aftermarket provides decent support.

I have the 305 to the 350 TBi and i have a simple mount added to my alt. and that mount carries the rad. hose over the SERP. belt without a notice to the eye.... looks fine----works GREAT!
