I have a 70 cuda with a hemi and shaker assembly, the car has a 27" wide "just be cool" cross flow radiator, the offset from the thermostat nipple to the radiator inlet is about 10 1/4", I have a factory, hemi, 26" radiator "shaker" hose #3462184 that is offset about 8", this stretches and distorts the hose too much, has anyone located a hose that will fit better and look correct?

Have you contacted the manufacturer of the radiator to see if they have any suggestions?

Welcome aboard, by the way.

Yes, I was told to go to the parts store and search thru all the hoses and see what I could "make work", BS man they should have a hose # on file that fits the application, a big block using their radiator.

That is what I have done in the past is find a hose with similar bends & diameter to fit , sucks they did not do the homework for their part
