Does Unique offer the lower radiator hose assembly for the 351W engine? Mine is set up where the radiator hose is sitting on the lower control arm and not routed through the cross-member hole. I'm sure I can work something out but if Unique offers that hose and piping already cut to size, I'd just order it...

i have the 351 W also. used the lower hose that unique specified, went thru the front cross member's hole, the bought two 90 degree hoses, and had a short piece of exhaust tubing to join them. think it will work out ok. go to archives, much discussion on this subject.

i used a hose from auto zone # 1030 and a 90 from muffler shop and was able to cut a piece to fit from the w/pump and other 90 degree to fit the radiator

Al,
You can do as Doug has or as Cobragar suggest with less connections.

Okiesnake,

You're correct about extensive discussion on that subject.. I got some help earlier on this... I was looking for an easy out and thought Unique had the parts to make the connection... I've found out that it's easier and cheaper for me to buy things pre-made then to do it myself... It's pathetic sounding I know but I'm basically an office worker with a hammer and a pair of pliers...

Al,
Unique will make you up a staight-through pipe for the cross member. It has the beaded ends to insure the hoses won't slip off. I originally ordered one from Unique, but liked the one I designed better. Unique also has the rubber large grommens to go through each hole in the cross brace.
