Any assistance on which hose would fit a 1970 camaro, DSE frame, LS engine would be appreciated. I got all the part numbers from a LS swap second gen, but they don't fit. Appears the engine is not in th same spot as stock because these hoses are too short.

Thank you,

I don't remember which upper hose fits better =Gates 21406 or 21347 ( it's tight on the water pump side) Lower= Gates 22166. This is for a dual pass radiator with both hoses on the passenger side.

Thank you, looks like the 21406 has a 1.5" inside diameter, I'll try the other one first

Top hose fit great! The bottom did not...any other suggestions for a molded lower hose?

Try a Gates 22437, you will need to cut some of it off.
