The new shop is making progress on my 68 Charger. The engine and radiator are not stock. Black flex hose or the stainless flex versions A: look like crap B: look like crap. I've spent a ton on the engine bay and the motor and don't want to open the hood and see all that goodness connected with flex hose.
So I'm looking at going AN hose. I can readily find -20 (1 1/4" ID) hose and fittings. I seen some -24 stuff (1 1/2 ID) but it is scarce and double the price.
My question is -20 AN going to flow enough to keep my 440 cool. I have a 3 row Champion aluminum radiator with twin Spal fans on a custom shroud. I'm not racing or any real hard driving. I'm a bit concerned because the factory radiator used 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 hoses. Any thoughts?
