Default Cooling Hose Set?

Is there such a kit/set of hoses that includes ALL of the hoses for the cooling system (radiator, water pump, heater core, etc)? Many of my hoses are bad and I feel that I might as well just replace them all. The car is a 94 formula if that makes any difference. I have done some searching with no success. Thanks for the help!

no there is no "kit". if you call up SDPC they should be able to piece together a "kit" for you at a good price and you will know you are getting the right parts.

lethal bird, could you post up a link?

nascarextreme, I have sitting on a shelf a brand new GM heater hose assembly. It's item 1 here. It includes parts 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20
& 21. The tube that would feed the throttle body coolant crossover is blocked. Want it?

I just spent $120 on that assembly a couple weeks ago.

I would possibly be interested in that. Is there a part number on that? Do you have a price in mind?

????????



Edit: I am kinda curious though the work needed to replace it all, i've thought about it especially since it seems like i might be looking at a heater core replacement. You have to cut the factory crimps i assume? What do i use to replace them?

Samco used to make a hose kit for LT1s. It was somewhere around $100. I would have bought it but it only came in blue.
I just noticed the link posted above. Thats the same kit but its says Goodyear not Samco

I think it's cheaper to just buy needed hoses from the parts store individually.

I bought the GoodYear kit several years ago, and wound up sending it back. In retrospect, I guess I didn't understand how it was to be installed, and there weren't any instructions, at least not in the box I got.

Where the confusion came in, at least for me, was with the heater hoses. The GoodYear hose kit doesn't come with any of the bracketry and/or the check valve, that's part of the OE set up. After reading a couple of discussions here, within the last few months, it appears that you have to remove the OE hoses from the metal bracket by cutting the crimp ferrules, and then clamp the GoodYear hoses in place (OR use the nifty Gates "heat shrink" clamps).

Had I understood this more fully, I most likely would have kept and used the GoodYear kit....

I don't believe that would be true... not positive, but some of those hoses can be up to $40 (or more) a piece. I guess the way I look at it more than 2 of my hoses have already gone bad and I haven't checked all of the others. I would rather just go ahead and fix it all at the same time and not worry about it again. lol
