My search capabilities are weak. Can anyone point me in the direction for the correct hoses for a 5.0 with Mustang front dress, and a reverse port (EFI) radiator? I can find a ton on Explorer front dress and reverse port radiator, but nothing on the Mustang front dress.

Is the simple answer the stock 1988 Mustang 5.0 radiator hoses will work? It cant be that simple, and the pictures that pull up for that kit do not appear correct.

Matt,
I use a stock 89-93 Mustang upper hose. I won't comment on the lower as I'm not overly excited with my choice, although it works for me. Stock bypass hose should also work.
