curious to know what upper hose you used, and howd you connect your power steering lines to you steering box? the fitting on the passenger side that hoses up to your map?, did you tighten it sll the way or just snug?

He used VooDoo majic. LOL. Look at GM hoses from different vechicles. It does depend on what type of FEAD (Front End Accessory Drive ) Do a "search" You can to to www.rockauto.com and check factory hose thread sizes. A Vette drive system may need extra clearance from the pulley so use a C5 hose. You might be able to use the Vette hose if going in a 80s GM. Worst case..... use part of it to build one from your stock one.

hi bowtie. i speak french so i'll try to explain you the best way I did it. my upper radiator hose is the original one from the truck. the lower one is made with 2 different hoses cutted and attached together with water piping, it takes a little imagination to do this one. as for the power steering lines , i don't remember very well but i used the same lines from the truck or my car but i didn't bought other power steering lines that the ones i had ! and for the hose i think you say, it's the tube that get the air out the system. you can run it to your radiator by welding a brass fitting like i did ! if you have other questions, let me know !!

hi inbred i painted my engine with a ford (motorcraft) aluminium paint i bought at the dealership . you need to spray a lot of thin layers to have a good result. I didn't primed but i think it would be better.

ls184cutlass, my suspension is a set of eibach pro kit but on the front I cutted half of the first spire because the front was too high, you might have to try it first without cutting !
