DoubleX Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I am in the process of installing the Shelby Radiator, Heat Exchanger, and Aluminum Reservoir tanks. For those of you that have done this, or have a Shelby modded vehicle with the cooling upgrade package...what hose is used to connect the Intercooler tank to the engine? The stock hose is too short, and bending a straight hose gets really close to the PS pump. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Also, what is everyone using to clean these as they seem to be raw brushed aluminum. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpmcobra Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I went to the local auto parts store and looked at their Gates Belts and Hose catalog. I found one that I had to cut but worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleX Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I cut my stock one. Can you send me a pic? My stock one wouldn't be long enough to cut, so I am curious how that would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcaramucci Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Just ordered mine, any install pics so I understand how to install the new hose or what hose I need to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby73 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 There is another thread on this, I installed the tanks and the perfect hose for the job can be found at Napa Auto parts ( has the correct bends) part# 11309, you just need to cut the one end down to size and works looks stock. I ended up covering all my hoses with braided hose covers prior to the reinstall. Looks killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGT Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I went to the local auto parts store and looked at their Gates Belts and Hose catalog. I found one that I had to cut but worked great. Ditto on the above. Actually I used a coat hanger to mock up the shape and length of hose I needed and took it to the parts store and found a hose off the rack that was close enough to modify. Crude, but effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
