Default Lowe radiator hose

I'm trying to find a lower radiator hose which will fit my LS1-PRC cooler in my 57 Chevy.
Anybody here who knows how long the original 1999 camaro hose is?
(#12, difference in height)

Lower hose radiator hose.. ? 12-18" as it is routed.. try bending a wire and heading to a local parts start that will let you look at a few.. try the F-Body or Truck hoses of various years wtih Gen III/IV engines. If not, there is always the flex hoses (tacky)or the SS hoses.

I would like to have a factory look hose. Here are only Saab and Volvo hoses at the local parts stores.

Where is the nearest GM Dealer..? or parts start that carrys GM parts..

how about a picture of what you need with some rulers in place so we can get a Idea of what you need and maybe see what is simular.

Or one of the Tri-5' guys will chime in and let you know what you are using. Also try contacting S&P as they have done Tri-5 swaps with LSx engines.

Here is what it looks like.
The height difference at the lower connections is 2". Sideways 5" between the connections. (3" between the engine and radiator.)

The upper hose needs to be 12" in sideways and 5" difference in height.
