Now to another question: Why are all of you buying S curve radiator hoses from a seller in the Netherlands? Is there something special about his hoses?

When you put a later flathead in a 32 - the lower water pump connections are quite a bit lower than an original 32 engine (actually below the cross-member).
The nicely formed "S-Hoses" are a perfect fit to pickup the lower outlets on the radiator and then route over the cross-member and down to the location of the later water pumps.
In the old days I used to go to auto parts stores and dig through their hoses to find some I could cut up - this can work well (especially if you happen to know the part number!).
Anybody have a good part number for someplace like NAPA?
