Hey Steve I asked this in my LT1 radiator hose thread and no takers yet.I have a link of the cheapest place I found the 4 piece set at $142 in it.I would love to see a red lt1 with them on (red ones)I bet it looks cool .Wish they had a complete set but I can't find one.Regardless I will be putting them on in the spring when I pull the radiator for cleaning.

I was looking at Cool Flow too but they come in different lengths that may or may not work but they look awesome too.

The only thing I know for sure is it is a 4 piece set so I would assume upper and lower and ?(mabey to and from the TB).I can't find any pictures of the actual ones for the LT1.

The 93 LT1's, at least mine, had the upper hose split as it tee'd off for the throttle body coolant hose. I cant remember if the other side was like that.
I emailed the company today.

Unfortunately the only thing I can find for L98s is the air intake hose.I have a pic waiting for approval of a 4 piece LT1 set Steve will post later.Did you ask them in your e mail if the 8 piece Impala set would work on our cars?It looks like I thought upper lower and TB hoses to me.I guess the upper would have to be cut in half.Not unusual.

I only asked about the LT1. The Lt1's changed. I know as I converted to a 96 set up and eliminated the throttle body coolant lines.

OK here is a 4 piece set for an Fbody.I am guessing a set for ours is close to the same.It's a blue set not red like I want.

So as I referenced above even though my Lt1 has a split hose I have read you can cut the upper to fit.Do those look like the TB hoses I have not had a chance to go out and look at mine.I really wonder if the Impala 8 piece set has all the hoses and if it would work on my car.Any Impala/Vette owners out there to answer this question?
