Engine what radiator hose kit are you are running on your foxbody?

[Mindseye007]

looking to change mine with these from LMR https://lmr.com/item/SVE-6052A/1986-93-Mustang-50L-Black-Silicone-Radiator-Hose-Kit because mine are original on my 1991 LX 5.0 Coupe.
also the clamp kit https://lmr.com/item/LRS-8693HCK-BLK/mustang-radiator-hose-clamp-kit-black-86-95-50 what do you think?

I got a set of black silicone hoses a d clamps from Summitt years ago and I'm happy with them.

I didn't use the silicone hoses ( if I remember right the hose kits are for only 87 newer cars) , but I purchased a bag of many different sized squeeze clamps from Ebay..
Of course the larger ones did not fit so I bought those at my local autozone...
read somewhere years ago that these are actually the best as they continually put pressure on the hose to prevent it from blowing off..
It was kinda spendy when I got done ( bought the special pair of pliers to use with these too) and a bit of a pain when I found out there were LOTS of different sizes, easy to get one too small then too big, before the " just right" one.....

One of the brands….. Gates… etc is probably making them for them, and they throw their SVE label on them.
As far as the clamps, they’re making money on selling them as a kit and “black” instead of the normal silver you can get anywhere.
Convenience is what you pay for with a lot of those LMR “kits”.

I bought the non silicone hose kit from LMR and while it was nice to get every hose I need, they are very thin and cheesy. I will be getting Gates hoses asap.
