After 29 years and 61k miles, I believe its time to replace the coolant hoses on my fox. What I am not sure is do I stick with a typical Gates/Motorcraft replacement or spring for the silicone hoses? I believe the FMS hose kit and Goodyear Hi-Miller hoses are NLA. I do see both SVE and Mishimoto have hose kits available but the ID looks to be smaller. Is that an issue? If it matters, the car runs a Vortech S-trim.

I was able to source some genuine Motorcraft hose off ebay. However,you're running a Vortech,does it hit the head unit?

It has it's own solid upper hose/pipe. Basically you have to cut up an upper hose to get your connections sorted out.
