Upper & Lower radiator hoses for explorer swap

[Postalpal]

While I did see a vary of posts on this I guess it really depends what you have for a set up
Can someone save me some time on what upper & lowers hoses I would need

This is Toms radiator with a built in cooler
Thank you for the help

I got the WH hoses at the same time that I ordered the radiator and fan shroud. Everything fit just like it should. Almost looks like a factory build. '97 explorer 5.0 swap in mine. I think it was these: https://www.wildhorses4x4.com/early-bronco-rubber-radiator-hoses-86-93-5l

Any pictures?
So your radiator cap is on the pass side along with your lower outlet
& the top outlet is in the drivers side ? And those hose worked ?

Those hoses linked above won't work with your setup. They'll work with a WH/Ron Davis 5.0 radiator with the switched inlets/outlets. For the top, the top hose that generally works best is the 68 Pontiac GTO hose (fits a bunch of other applications as well). For the bottom, some folks get the early '00s 7.3 Super Duty hose to work. Others use the crossover tubes that various vendors sell.

I haven't seen that shroud before, is that for a stock Bronco radiator?

No , that is electric fan 2spd from a o4 jeep liberty, but it is on a stock original radiator with custom mounts and some trimming ,, three bolts across the top and one connector, could be removed sis minute or so..Oh o and to the OP my lower hose is the pipe WH sells and bronco lower hose cut to fit in place.
