Radiator Hoses For Dauntless V6 And Mb Radiator

Hello and thanks for taking time to read this.

Putting an MB body on a 1970 CJ5 with the Dauntless V6, 1.5" inlet and outlet on the radiator, what hoses are recommended for this modification with the outlet on the drivers side?

Thank you!

 

Typically we don't use the 4cyl radiator. You want a narrow 65 v6 radiator with passenger side lower hose.
65 Mustang v8 radiator is extremely close fit and what I have with my chevy 4.3

 

Thank you, I already have a 3 core aluminum MB type radiator for it, so trying to see what will make the trip to the driver side.

 

might have to cut up a few hoses and clamp them together with union fittings. A few sharp bends and a straight piece or two will work for most things.

 

If it is a good heavy aluminum radiator, I would see about getting the lower hose moved. It would be a lot simpler and less prone to issues.

Is the engine already in with the fan and radiator in place?

Along with the dimensions, if you scroll down there are "photos".

 

dang, that's a nice resource, I'm saving that

 

I'm on the hunt for hoses to fit my Dauntless into a Willy's pickup. Found the Dayco website has a LOT of hoses (with pictures and dimensions), just have to figure out which one will work.
