v8 shortie

Ive just dropped my SBC into my FJ45 in the last few days. I have my old radiator hoses from when it was in my shortie so I just used them. The top hose is just the bendy one that you can sort of .... ah stuff it here is a pic...

And the bottom hose, I"m stuffed if I know what its off. The chev water pump has a bigger outlet than the l/cruiser inlet of the radiator. I have ordered a hose out of a parts book just by the pic alone. If it does the job, I'll post up a part number and make for you.. See how it goes next week.

Rgds,
