I'm will be converting my '65 mustang 6cyl (200ci) to a V8 (302). In the meantime my 6cyl radiator is leaking. If I buy the V8 radiator it will bolt on BUT the hoses are one size larger on the V8 radiator. Is there a way to adapt the hoses one size larger?

Go to your local muffler shop with both size hoses and have him make a stepdown adaptor for each hose, it would be easy and cheap. Just food for thought.
