I'm still the in the process of piecing my car together. Next thing on my list was rad hoses.

On 50resto, they have the traditional ford motorcraft hoses:

86-93 HOSE KIT, RADIATOR, 5.0L MUSTANG

The ford racing Gay blue hoses but are silicone:

86-93 HOSE KIT, RADIATOR - 5.0L BLUE SILICONE MISCFORD

and lastly they have the Mishimoto's:

86-93 RADIATOR HOSE KIT, SILICONE, BLACK, 5.0L MUSTANG

the motorcraft ones are 80 bucks the mishimoto's are 75 and they are silicone. i really do not want the blue ford racing hoses on my car since i am taking the time of painting everything black under the hood.

any input is welcome. thanks in advance.

Ok, it doens't bother me that they are knock offs. but i am talking about the quality. will i notice a difference buying these compared to the ford racing silicone kit?
