Default Silicone hose kit

Anyone know of a silicone or hi po hose kit for a 96 LT4?

Seems they make them for most everything else, even C4 ZR-1's

It came with 4 coolant hoses, Upper Rad, Lower Rad, and 2 for the throttle body that I did not use.

Same here. Only used upper and lower radiator hoses with the nice SS clamps they offer.

So none of the long heater hoses or the U under the surge tank... Too bad.
