Radiator hoses for 351W in a 51 F1
Hi guys,
I have a 69-70 351W in my 51 F1 with what I think is a more or less OEM style radiator. I've found a hose for the bottom, but the top hose, from the t-stat housing on the pass side of the Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold to the inlet on the pass side of the radiator is giving me fits. I'm not at home so I don't have a good pic to post. I've been to several stores and haven't found anything that will fit without too much bending. I'm fine with buying a hose and cutting it to use a segment that fits, but I've been unable to find anything. I'd prefer to stay away from a flex hose partly because I think they're ugly and also because the shortest one I've found is still too long.
Is there any "known application" that will work? I'm tired of poking thru hundreds of hoses hunting for one that looks right.
Thanks! Tyler
