Thanks we are in the progress of going this. I was curious about two specific things. Did anyone have exactly the same issue (I can hardly see now how the original hose could even have been a good fit). Second question: Are flex hoses any good or a hack? thanks. Rebecca

Here is a photo showing the problem.

After engine upgrade (built 340 with aftermarket water pump and radiator) the lower hose will not fit. It now has a Griffin radiator (2 row) and Milodon water pump. Visually the radiator looks about the same thickness as the original (with some trimming we were even able to fit on the fan...
