We are working on our 1974 El Camino project, and we need some new radiator hoses. Instead of the same old boring molded rubber hoses, we opted to make new ones with some silicone elbows and aluminum pipe. The pipe gets turned down in the lathe to create a recess for the hose clamp to bite into. This makes the engine look good and it is very durable. This is perfect for engine swaps where finding the right shape of molded hose is impossible.
We also install a @Chevrolet Performance front accessory drive to the SBC in the El Camino. Jefferson shows you a few cool tricks while he is at it too.
