EFI Rad hoses
Does anyone have some part numbers handy for upper and lower radiator hoses for the Explorer front dress? I am going with a radiator that has the passenger side inlet at the top. I think I may have read somewhere that I need to get hoses for a Mustang 5.0 and definitely not the Explorer 5.0 hoses.

Re: EFI Rad hoses
This is what we used on my set up with passenger side inlet.
Upper Radiator hose- from a 1969 Pontiac GTO (needs to be cut to fit). Depending on you PS reservoir location, the bracket my need to be notched for the hose.
Lower Radiator hose- from a 2002 Super Duty 7.3 L

I don't think there would be a need to go around the P/S bracket because the upper hose will come from the passenger side of the radiator. Am I thinking about this wrong?

Re: EFI Rad hoses
I tried the super duty hose and it didn't come close to fitting. You're welcome to take a look at mine and see if it's close to yours.

I should have mentioned that I run my radiator upside down.

I should have realized you like your radiators oriented just like your men.
