Go to Autozone and get either part# XL-183 or XL-185. Both are about $9 each........ I have a 69 Chevelle... I have the XL-183 on but you will have to trim it at the waterpump...... These will work if you are using a water pump with the pump spout facing forward....... If the spout is facing up toward the passenger side the XL-183 you prob will not have to cut....
The lower hose I used 17" flex hose(you could get away with 18")
My radiator is Summit's 80457 for a big block Chevy....I used this when I had my BBC......
The water pump for the upper hose was around(these are ballpark) 1 1/4(pump) and 1 1/2(radiator)
For the flex hose I got it 1 1/2 on each end(pump/radiator)

No, pretty much at a standstill now. I have had nothing but problems with the EZ-TCU trans controler from TCI! I am so pissed at this company right now words can't even describe. I should have known better when me and my bud had nothing but problems with their cheap *** convertors!! I am about to get my 3rd controler from them and if this one doesn't work i'm going to have to go a different route..........

Did you make new engine stands on your chevelle. It looks like you have plenty of room by the PS pulley and steering box?

Why not??? Carbs easier to tune, easier tune spark with MSD 6010/6012, less expensive to upgrade(bigger carbs) and according to the mags I have read we make more power? Plus if we want to later we can add some injectors or a FAST TB and still make more power then a Fuel Injected intake. Plus what u would have to do to a BBC to make the power and flow numbers can get real expensive with a BBC plus the LS offers weight savings....BBC's are a dying breed...now there just mostly for bragging points.
