Question for the LT1 guys
I was working on my buddies ’96 Chevy Impala SS clone. It was an old
police car when we started it has an LT1 and all the hoses are green.
What is the difference between the green hoses vs. normal hoses?
-thanks

Cop cars have green, silicone hoses stock. They will last a long time, but I doubt you can use either of them. If you can, I would.

I was wondering how much was involved to make the swap?
Do you think you would be interested in a side job?
