Need application help for 385 Big Block in 64'

I am getting ready to finish the cooling system and remembered that I have no freakin clue on what radiator hoses to use between the 514 and Howes radiator. The radiator is designed for the 64' Galaxie and FE motor. How about any of you guys that have droped in a 429, 460, or 514 into a 64' give me some help? I would greatly appreciate it.

Re: Need application help for 385 Big Block in 64'

I used a stock FE lower rad hose, cut only an inch or so, but rad and w/pump sizes were dead nuts. Upper was a mix match, but you see that in my pics where I have an in-line filler neck, 1.5" each side. My rad is a Griffin though made for an FE with surge tank so the 1.75" inlet and outlet on the rad ought to be the same as yours. I think the t-stat housing on the 385 series is 1.5". No simple interchange info from me due to the inline filler.

GB, the hoses Crites supplied me for the 460/'64 with the Howe radiator are; top hose...Dayco #70751. (needed a little shortening). Bottom hose...Dayco #70447. (I think that one went straight on).
