Digging up an old thread....

 

I didn't find what I was looking for on a search....

 

I am swapping in a 5.3 LM7, I am going to use the factory radiator for the time being, what hoses to I use to hook up the 5.3 to the stock 280z radiator?

 

Thanks!!

i used jtr radiator bought jci liquids kit but hoses didnt line up so ended up bending piece of wire to match shape i wanted then went to local auto parts shop just went through there hoses till i found something that matched

though i did end up using jtr hose coupling in middle of two hoses to make up top hose

 

one tip that caught me out was taking top hose off and filling engine with coolant via hose tried to do it just via radiator filler first but car ran hot and when i checked again was low on coolant was obviously getting air lock but has been fine since i filled via top hose did same with heater hose to just to be sure coolant system was full
