Hard heater hoses from Camaro

So, with Kooks 1 7/8's, the stock dipstick, and location should be ok?

Yes

OK boys and girls good news!

I got time today to tac the pipe together and lay it in.
The design is changed again. (figured it would)
Instead of a 90 I'm going to do a 60 ish. You see in the pic where the down tube runs close to the fuse box stud. I want to tip the hose back and run behind that stud. This will give more room for the coil covers and what not. Plus look alot cleaner.
I think I can use the 30* cut off in the back but we will see.
The factory hose will work perfectly. You will need the 90* bends from the water pump. And the offset part by the oil fill cap.
But here's what it will kinda look like.
The elbow will be by the dip stick. Keep in mind mine is spaced out almost an inch so yours has way more room.
Maybe I can keep it behind the dip stick.
We will see.

Think you can get them routed in this one?

I think it will be away from the trans dipstick but it may not be easy to pull the stick. Any way you can flex the stick to the right?
If you get me a measurement on the location I can get you a better answer
It looks like the hose you have now will be similar.
If you want more room on the left of the dip stick let me know. I can make you a special bracket.

Any progress with these? The mock up looks fantastic!

Yeah a little. I actually working on them now.
I think they will change to aluminum because Friday after work I stopped into this shop that went out of business (guy retired) and was selling everything. I picked up a flare tool that can do 3/4" tubing and a bender. I'm not sure the bender will work just right buy with it being a 45* now a long bend will be better.
I have a bit of aluminum tubing so I'm going to bend it and see how it all works out.
If the aluminum works out the price went way down. I think it will be just as good. My only concern was the strength of the mount but I can fix that easy enough.

Before this turns in a vaporware thread, what is your time frame for making a set?

We'll ray. It's dictated by my day job. Working 12's at the moment an hour from home.
I do have the aluminum and stainless tubing made.
I need enough time to drain coolent and install.
Being that I have to cut my hose I don't want her to sit if something isn't ready.

I do apologize for the delay everyone. But I need my ducks in a row before install and final product posting.
Keep in mind I'm offering to help others with my spare time. So please be patient.
I hope everyone can understand.
