Hi everyone,
Maybe someone can help me and save me some much needed time:
I'm putting the 4bt into a 92 F150 4x4. Got the rad. from the breadvan but it's too tall for the core support. Also, from what I've read on the forum cooling is not really an issue with the 4bt. So, I opted to use the rad. from the 302 V8 (with acquired electric fan from Ford Taurus). Upper inlet is on the same side as 4bt, lower inlet is opposite - I made a crossover tube to fix that. However, buying hoses is proving a challenge...
Does anyone who has done this specific conversion (92-97 F150, etc.) remember the part numbers from the rad. hoses they used? The upper hose from the bread truck would "work", if it was about 4-6" longer on the rad side. The lower hose from the bread truck will work also, thanks to the crossover tube. However, no number is visible and the hose is flared from about 2" on motor side to about 1 5/8 on rad side. This hose will work if I could figure out the number.
Just wanted to ask if anyone had any ideas. Otherwise, I'll be going down the beaten path to a few more auto parts stores tomorrow!
