Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-CSC-2L is a black silicone lower radiator hose built specifically for the 1965-1967 Chevrolet Chevelle equipped with a 283 4.6L or 327 5.4L engine, replacing the factory rubber hose with a five-layer silicone construction designed to handle decades of heat cycling far better than aging OEM rubber. Every hose ships with two worm-gear clamps so the swap is a direct, bolt-on affair rather than a fabrication project.
Rubber hoses age, crack, and collapse under sustained heat and pressure, which is exactly the failure point this Mishimoto Cooling component is engineered to eliminate. Constructed from five layers of silicone with heat-resistant embedded fibers, this hose is rated to a maximum temperature of 330°F and classified as a Performance grade, specific-fit part rather than a generic universal hose. Whether the Chevelle sees daily driving duty or weekend cruise nights, the added heat and pressure tolerance helps keep coolant flowing reliably where old, brittle rubber would eventually fail. Like the rest of Mishimoto’s Classic Line, this hose is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty and is available in black.
Vehicle Applications
This silicone lower radiator hose is a direct fit for the 1965-1967 Chevrolet Chevelle 300, 300 Deluxe, and Concours (1967), the 1965 Chevelle Malibu Super Sport, the 1966 Super Sport 396, and the 1967 SS 396. Coverage also extends to the 1966-1968 Chevrolet Impala Base and 1966-1967 Impala SS, as well as the 1965-1969 Ford Mustang Base and Shelby GT-350, the 1969 Mustang Boss 302, and the 1966 Mustang Shelby GT-350H.
