How Long is the Radiator Hose

Eric Smith · 1/7/14, 5:03 PM

I want to order a hose, but I don't know how long they typically are. I had a heater in my hose before and I threw the heater and both pieces of hose away when I tore the car down in the fall, so I can't just measure them. Since the hoses are precut (I wasn't planning on that), I should probably try to get the right size instead of just cutting my own. So can anyone tell me the likely length I need?

87/40 car with a Chevy 360 in it.

Thanks all.

Should add that I have full size sqare radiator that just sits in the tray with the outlet on the bottom facing the motor.
