All Small Six Radiator hoses for V8 rad to I6

[ActionYobbo]

I got an aluminum radiator off ebay and after I got it fitted which included drilling the bolt holes in the correct locations I realized that it takes larger hose. The radiator was advertised to fit a falcon or comet with inline 6 but its got the V8 hose size. So my question is..Is there a hose that has the v8 size on the radiator end and the 170 size on the water pump end?
Thanks

I have a V8 Radiator and use hose adapters. https://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/radiator-hose-adapters-and-extensions

Sounds like the radiator made for putting a modern 5.0 V8 in an old Mustang. The hose connections are in the I6 locations but V8 sized.

You need a hose called Copperflex. https://streetrod.au/copperflex/

The thermostat housing can be changed to a 250 and then use the hose for a 250. I’ve also seen rubber adapters that go on the neck first and steps it up.

Send the radiator back if it's for a V8.
You should not have any problem sending back an eBay radiator if it doesn't fit as advertised.

I had it too long and I have drilled the mounting holes in the correct locations so its mine now

So did you find a hose or reducers?

I had no luck finding any locally. I will order have to get them online. The 4th slowed up my progress.

I just slide a correct ID/OD house in/on each. Ie:
I cut a hose that fits the rad bout 4 inches long (or whatever), stuff it inside the other,
slide the bigger ID one over it - (& both) up to metal rad's flange'n tighten a clamp over.
The inside one (carpenter language) pads out
the other. Might need grease between the 2 hoses? I usually dont. Esp when usin a shorter
internal hose (just the length of the rad's flange (almost like a 'bushing')...?
This way I can use 'properly' "molded" hoses even if wrong IDs for radiator. Obviously U cant
make a 3 inch hose fit a 1.25 flange (well, I guess U could if doing this 2, 3 times over. Might
catch the observer's eye at that point tho).
I service alota "poor" exhaust customers, ina rush, commercials that want just back to wrk (esp farmers around here this timea yr) and do
same w/metal (sleeve scrap from the pile, pipe inside pipe) rather than wait for pipe delivery or pay for store bought when there's plenty lyin round.
