What upper radiator hose are you guys using that have left-hand water pump outlet?

 

I reused my upper hose from my tpi slight trim to fit stock rad.

 

You staying with the vette pulley spacing?

 

What radiator are you using? Hawks has a kit but I also like the spliced idea that a member did on an LS3 swap into a Bird.

TPI

 

Thanks for the picture. Looks pretty good other than proximity to the power steering pulley. Did you try swapping ends or did it fit better the way you installed?

 

It fit this way best the pic makes it look tighter to the pump then it is. I did buy a LS3 Camaro upper hose to use but it didn't fit good at all.

 

About 1''

 

I have an Modine 3 core or something like that. Purchased many years ago. Nothing fancy, just an upgrade from stock 3rd gen.

That splice from "Jags That Run" is used widely by people at this site. If you have a manual transmission then you might want to take a look at what I did because you won't find a cleaner steam line install anywhere on this site. My engine will self purge without any tricks, manual bleeding, or any effort other than adding coolant.

You can just see my steam line hookup into the back of my water pump in the above pic works great very stealthy.

 

With my luck that will make incidental contact with the pulley. The hose gets pretty heavy when full of coolant, and more flexible when hot. I'd feel better with something that I can strap to the upper radiator shroud.

For reference, my hose is 5" away from the pulley today and is strapped to a support cup built into the fan shroud. I have a dual fan radiator shroud that looks different than yours. It really does look like the hose would fit better if flipped in my case.
