Had the same issue with my welded aluminum radiator. Bottom outlet is 1.75" just like the pump, so I went to a ribbed flex hose too. I don't think there's an option unless you get them to let you just look through their hoses and find a molded that 1.75" and looks the same.

Yup flex hose it is. The video doesn't do the sound justice. The Lunati cam has a real nice thump to it. I knew during assembly the the rear main was probably gonna leak. It did, it got shaved a little going in. Oh well, I plan on pulling it back out to blast the body. I'll fix it then. At the end of the video you can see my bubby notice the leak.

I love how it doen't even twitch while idling. The extra money for balancing was worth it. I have much tuning to do but this was just to prove it ran, Dan has been bugging me for years now. It wraps up nice. Once I get the wiring done then I'll be happier. Enjoy, I'm still pumped up.

I can't open the videos, they say: "This video is private."

You might need to go into settings on your you-tube account and switch to public.

That 'll scare the dogs, kids, and old ladies! Sounds fantastic Damon! I had to go back and turn the volume all the way up on my computer and listen again!
It has to be good, 'cause my wife asked me if I was watching the drag races on my laptop again!

Thanks, I want to go for a ride very bad now. Had the hair on my neck standing up.

Exactly! I really want a set of heads, but I just need to persevere and wait it out until something comes up, or I save about $1300 to get a good set. I don't really care either way.
