hi all,
i've just done a 5.0 swap into a '65 ranchero and now the radiator outlet and the pump inlet are on the drivers side. i would like to use a molded hose for this. can one of you mustang guys tell me when the mustang with the small block went to this configuration. i'm hoping this hose will fit my rad and motor.
thanks.

1970 was the year the lower hose switched to the left side on V8s.------------------

On my 65 I have a 85 302 installed. I didn't do it,but it they used the old timing cover off the original 289. So both my hoses are still on the passenger side of the engine compartment.Bill

I don't know if it would work for you, but I have the 70-type water pump and radiator inlet/outlet on the driver's side on the Fastback; and found that a concours 66 Mustang 289 lower radiator hose fit just right.------------------
