Any of you try to find a braided stainless lower radiator hose that is 2 in. on one end and 1 3/4 in. on the other? Summit says nobody makes one that they sell with a 2 in. end. I just need a little elbow maybe 12" long to fit my setup. Napa sells a rubber one, but thought stainless would look nicer. As for the radiator to tranny lines, also ran into a problem trying to use stainless as the fitting into the radiator is a 5/8 -20 thread with an inverted flare. Doesn't seem to be any adapters that fit and still connect to AN fitting, though I did find two brass fittings that will work with standard line. Funny how this little stuff wastes time!
I just want to get the engine started and broken in. I guess it's just easier to go the standard route!
