Yes a difference in length, the big blocks sits closer to the radiator, using a shorter spring. The small block sits further using a longer spring.

The other one I listed is shorter, corrected now.

Get a 36" stick of 3/32" stainless steel TIG welding rod and the handle on a push broom.
Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to twist a small loop on each end of the TIG rod(this will keep the ends from digging into the hose once it is installed).
Wind the TIG rod around the broom handle, use the entire length of the rod. This will make a spring that is just right in size and length.
10 minutes of effort plus whatever the TIG rod costs and you're done.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.
The spring would fit into the lower hose the goes from the lower inlet on the radiator to the lower opening on the water pump.
