Radiator Hose Fitment Help Needed

[ScottVA]

The wealth of information on this site shows that I have a 22" radiator for a 318 B bodied car from 1968. However, the radiator now sits in a 1965 B body with a 440. I need to order both radiator hoses and would prefer to order good ones as opposed to buying the cheap ones sold locally. My question is how to order the correct ones? Do I order for a SB B Body from 1968? Or do I order for a 440 from 1968? Both hose connections are on the driver side. Any help here would be most appreciated. Thanks, guys.

The bottom outlet hose is a Gates #20957. 1 3/4" diameter with a 90* bend to connect to the water pump housing. Can't help you on the top hose. Mine's on the passenger side of the radiator.

radiator outlet

my question is, the 318 bottom outlet is 1 1/2 diameter, how will hook it up to a 1 3/4 water pump inlet? the 383 is bigger on the bottom than a 318,is what I'm referring to.

That is a question that I have as well. Do the BB radiators have larger inlets/outlets than the SB radiators? I guess I need to check that by comparing the water neck and water pump to the radiator since both are out of the car presently. Thanks for your help.
