Re: Lower Radiator hose

I don't like them but I had to use a flex hose for the same reason when I put the 250 in my truck with the stock radiator.

Or and you can buy this locally a radiator hose adapter. https://www.amazon.com/Gates-26390-H...r+hose+adapter

They sell those for some of the one size fits several applications radiators for late model cars. I'd use two hose clamps on it on that end though. That lets you use your hose and be done with it.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
