Upper Radiator Hose

There was recently a discussion on this forum about the correct upper radiator hose from Fusick for a 70 442 big block. I thought it was in Joe's (Costpenn) current project thread but it isn't and the search feature hasn't helped.

My issue is that I bought one of the Fuysick upper rad hoses a couple of years ago and it does not fit correctly. Does anyone know if they have changed it recently or does someone else make the correct one?

Thanks

I just put on a new lower radiator hose from Inline Tube and it was a perfect fit. You could give them a try for the upper hose.

Inline Tubes upper hose is very close to the GM part. Fusicks is curved too tightly as it comes out of the rad and just doesn't look right. It did fit, but cosmetically I couldn't handle the look of it .

Rocketbrian,

That's exactly the issue I had. Between the inlet, outlet and support strap from the fan shroud, I could make it fit but it just didn't look right. 442 KO I will take a look at the ILT hose.

Thanks
