I have a Griffin rad specific for a Ford 302 in my Deuce. Top inlet is centre with bottom outlet on drivers side. Just got back from the local auto parts store trying to match up some pre-formed hoses and no luck. Anyone running similar and have some p/n`s? Thanks
Not exactly what you're looking for hb but I have somewhat the same situation with a Griffin and a 2nd gen LT-1 in my deuce. I couldn't find the exact hoses so I'm going with stainless tubing. Check out www.mandrel-bends.com down in Oregon. They have 1 1/4 bends in 45's, 90's and 180's. Nice looking smooth bends reasonably priced. Another option.
i have a walker radiator in my model a w a small block ford and new i would have to hunt for hoses ! i took a piece of leftover stainless flex hose from an ot project and bent it into the shape i needed , i then took it to a a parts store ( had to go to 2 of em ) and w a little patience and them letting mr go back and look and pull hoses down i was able to compare them and find two that would work ( one for the top one for the botom ) the piece of flex hose made all the difference having something to compare to ! took em home and cut off the excess ! they worked perfect
I had a Griffin rad in my roadster and used an upper hose for a '70 chevelle with 350 and a lower hose fora '78 Malibu with a 305. Both hoses needed to be trimmed to fit but work very well. Incidently, my Griffin started leaking a 1600 miles. It was out of warranty time wise because it was one of the first things I bought to mockup the car and as we know time can p*** very quickly. but still brand new. Called Griffin and they gave me a return authorization and $78 dollars later it was in their hands. They admitted that it leaked but could not find a way to fix it either. Since it was out of warranty they offered me a "Special Deal" discount that was $40 more than I paid for the first one! Oh, and that was before shipping. I bought a Br***works and it made a BIG difference. The hoses also worked with the Br***works radiator.
No response from Griffin and hope that this is not a sign of things to come. The upper hose recommended by deucemac, works but the lower will not. Still need a lower and deucemac and I can`t be the only ones to put a Ford in a Ford.
