ok so I kinda cut up and made a hose for the lower part of my radiator I guess its the outlet?..the lower part is on the driverside..now when it expands its hitting the belt..it has already cut into the hose so soon will pop it for sure..so any of you have a hose part number that would clear away from the belt?..engine is a 302everything connected at the bottom is on the driverside (radiator/water pump) I really don't care to use a flexable hose

The Gates lower hose for a 302 1974 Maverick has an extra little kick in it for more belt room. Might be the same belt as a Mustang used, but I have had good success using them. Also, you typically have to cut ANY hose you buy for proper fit at the radiator. Cut that too short and you run into belt interference problems. So, make that cut where it leaves the hose as long as possible without kinking it to make the bend to the water pump.
