ive got my engine out for a rebuild and previously i noticed that my heater core hose/tube assembly is bad the previous owner did some impressive splice jobs, so instead of paying the huge price for a new one i wanted to run braided steel hoses, and do the same for the rest of the hoses, im also doing away with the ac and egr so i will have a lil extra room does anyone know of this being done or have pictures

Leathal93ta has this done, I will warn you it's a VERY expensive mod.

 

is it more expensive than that assembly, because the assembly cost like over 200 bucks if remember

 

the hose itself is cheap but the fittings can cost as much as $20 each, and thats for the small ones.

 

$95.36 wholesale for the GM complete heater hose assembly for a 1994 (p/n 10236039)

 

big ones can easily be $70 or more

 

thanks for the help i found some fittings at jegs.com that are $13 a piece and the hose it around $30 so i think i can do at least the heater core cheaper than the hose assembly!

 

I was thinking about doing the same thing, Post some pix once you get it finished.

 

it might be a little bit till its finished the engine isnt back from the shop yet does anyone else out there have pics

 

search for them.....that guy has pics...it was several hundred just to do the radiator.

How do you plan to connect the hoses to the radiator?

so do you need a special tubes coming off the radiator to use the hose fittings? would these be the right fittings then

There is no way to connect them to a plastic radiator......

If I was you I would just buy the hose shbox listed. Anything more than that is just to much trouble/money

 

i think i may get in more than i want to, i may have to stay with the factory heater hose assembly
