    I just moved the radiator back in the original location and the hose I used when I had it in the six location will not work so anyone know of a molded hose that will work,radiator outlet is 2 inches and the water pump is 1 3/4 or is there a water pump made for a 2 inch hose.

    They make a sleeve to put over the 1 3/4" flange so you can use a 2" hose on it. I have an OT mopar that I have this way for the last 32 years. The sleeve is rubber like the hose and I got it at the same time as the hose, I believe it was a Gate's part.

    I was wondering if they made anything like that as I do have a lower hose for a Y block and its 2 inch on both ends,I will call a decent parts store tomorrow and see if they can get me one.
