Hi all! Ive reached the point in my 5.3 swap where I’m trying to figure out hoses and such for the truck. I’m running corvette accessories with the ls2 water pump and the 1st gen 4.3 HD radiator. I’ve done some reading and I think I’ve seen part number 71994 used for the upper hose? It looks like it might fit from what I’ve seen. The lower hose I’ve seen a few different options but want peoples opinions there.
As far as power steering goes, I’ve read that one of the corvette lines fits like it was made for this, but again, just want opinions and options.
Thanks! We’re getting closer to starting it soon lol.
LS3 pump can help with hose routing. This will have a hose from the pump to the radiator, with an expansion tank added into the heater hose with the actual radiator cap on the firewall, like a factory LS cooling system, with zero chance of air in the system
This does help. I was wondering if I routed the pressure line correctly. I had to adjust the bends on the steering box side as I was hitting the pump bracket. Now it clears the pulley, but only by 1/8th of on inch or so.
