I haven't seen much information about this aside from the getrag swap I've performed. I need to know what Radiator hoses you guys used on your motor swaps? I'm certain the inlet and outlets on the Motor are going to be in the same spot, I need to know what kinda vehicles you got your hoses from.
I thought that was the case. Unfortunately the upper doesn't work, atleast not for me. I haven't tried the lower that's split yet. I've also found a source that says a lower radiator hose out of a 99 montana works as an upper. So, I'll give that a try.
I used the 1995 2.2 lower hose and a 1994 pontiac grand am upper. The upper hose rubs on the battery tray and I afraid soon it will put a hole in it.

No need to get all riled up, I'm simply asking what others have used to find the best fit for my application.Then again, I guess I hadn't stated I've got a 3500 w/getrag tranny bolted in as far as application goes, anyhow. In my case the trim to fit really seemed out of the question, so thanks for your input.
i have a 3500 and the hose locations r the same. i used a upper from a 3400 grand am and a lower from a 3100 malibu. like a 97. ive heard u can use 2.2 hoses. and trans plays no roll in radiator hoses.
o and i had to trim a little of the end of one i think.

Awesome, I'll give those a shot. As for the transmission I realized that. I just figured it'd be smart to be specific.
