  • Which Rad Hoses Do I need? LX9 into an LQ1 Car

    I'm getting very close to starting my LX9 swapped Grand Prix and realized I don't know which radiator hoses to use. My 3.4 DOHC hoses are beatup and I don't think they will fit correctly regardless.

    What make/model hoses will be close enough to work? Will the hoses from a 3.1L (GenII) W car fit correctly? Or perhaps something from a w car with a Gen III?

    I'm also using a 3400 crossover pipe and I noticed that the thermosat housing tube comes within probably 3/4" of the heat sheild on the crossover, will this be detrimental to the rubber radiator hose? Is it too close or is this how the 3400 is too?
