Re: Radiator lower hose trouble

Yes I get that, but how is an AC compressor interfering with the lower hose on a regular small block when the compressor is mounted off the head and top water pump stud. Can you give us a picture

Re: Radiator lower hose trouble

Okay, I didn't get it had the serp belt set-up. I had a serp belt on my 400 small block in my flat bed, but the setup I had was identical to the one on my suburban and had no issue using the factory hose. So that being said I don't know what to tell you there other than you may have to change the bracket kit

Re: Radiator lower hose trouble

Maybe call their tech support and see if they recommend a certain part #. I would imagine one form a 92-98 truck hose would be the one to go with.
