Sean D 31 Report post Posted March 22, 2018 Is anyone running with a 69 351w with drivers side water pump configuration and driver side lower radiator outlet? If so can you suggestion a set of radiator hoses that fit my configuration as i don't think it is that uncommon? My new 408 stroker will be setup with driver side edelbrock aluminum water pump and just got my Griffin 24" wide direct fit radiator with driver side lower outlet. Have dual contour electric fans, but don't think that matters. Radiator: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/gri-7-70039 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shelbyshelby 52 Report post Posted March 22, 2018 I did this combo and bought a lower hose for a 70 with a 351C. It had to be trimmed some to fit. It’s on and yard driving but the hose has only about 1 inch of clearance to the power steering belt. If you find something better, please post. I need to do it better.

unilec 57 Report post Posted March 22, 2018 Also a good idea to make sure the lower hose has a spring in it to prevent the hose from collapsing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted March 22, 2018 1970 Mustangs with a 351W have the lower radiator hose on the drivers side. That application should work for your 1969. You do have the correct accessory brackets, timing pointer, and harmonic balancer for use with the drivers side lower radiator hose? It's more than simply a water pump and radiator difference. 1 TexasEd reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it will have the correct accessory brackets, timing pointer, and harmonic balancer for use with the drivers side lower radiator hose. Absolutely agree, it is more than simply a water pump and radiator difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted March 22, 2018 My 1969 351W still has the passenger side lower radiator hose setup. Knowing what I do now, I kind of wish I converted it to a drivers side lower radiator hose setup when I built it. 1 Sean D reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean D 31 Report post Posted March 23, 2018 Guess I will just try a set labeled for 70 with 351W, just hard to tell if they are for 20" or 24" radiators! Has anyone tried the silicone hoses? Are they worth the money? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted March 23, 2018 If the hose specifies with A/C it would be for a 24" radiator. 1 Sean D reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicfreg 772 Report post Posted April 13, 2018 My hose, which is for a 1970 Mustang with 24" radiator. This is the drivers side, lower hose. Gates 20609. 1 Sean D reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
