Hi guys, I'm sure this has been covered but I can't locate it. I have been using the flexible hoses from Napa one and a half upper 1 and 3/4 lower. But I'd love to use one that is properly bent. The upper is on the passenger side the lower is on the driver side. I have a 302 out of a 93. Anybody using any special hoses? My local Napa would not let me check hoses visually, they only let me see the book and it's not that helpful. Any recommendations are super welcomed! Thank you!
 
I have a 5.0 motor out of a '93 Mustang in my '54. I used the factory radiator and the factory upper and lower hoses from the Mustang. The only thing I had to do was shorten the lower hose as couple of inches on the radiator end. Not sure what radiator you're running.
 
That worked for me in my '54 ,the donor 302 was from a 1985 Lincoln MKVII had to also shorten the hose too, the manager at my local Autozone let me see and measure the hoses.
