Hello,

For those that have done the LS swap, what lower radiator hose did you use?

Thanks, David

I can't facepalm hard enough with some of these basic questions. See waaaayyyyyyyy too much of it in the facebook groups.

How in the fck are we supposed to give you an answer when you can't tell us what you are using for a radiator and where the hose connections are on it. See the error in your way yet?

Get a coat hanger, bend to a close shape of what you need, measure the connection diameters on the water pump and the radiator, go to the parts store, find the one that will be close to being able to use, and make it work.

It's that simple.

Well let's see........Lower hose is on the bottom right....Haven't ever seen it on the top or even on the left side for a G body.
Radiator is made by Superior. Tried the coat hanger trick, worked for the top just not having any luck for the bottom. Thanks, David

With the thousands of them in the store, and the amount of us that have done it and have been driving our cars for years, I think you can do it. Make it work means also cut to fit, the part is out there.

I used a stock hose for an '84 MC SS and cut it to length with the stock rad and stock accessory pulleys. Then I installed the turbo and hot side piping and had to modify the t-stat inlet. Still used the same hose. Pretty much need to find a hose that fits the rad correctly in terms of inner diameter, then cut and hack as needed.
