Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-GM-14L Silicone Lower Radiator Hose replaces the factory rubber lower hose on the 1965-1967 Chevrolet Chevelle, offering a direct fit for the 396 6.5L Chevelle. Molded from five layers of silicone reinforced with heat-resistant embedded fibers, this black hose is engineered to resist the cracking and degradation that plague old rubber hoses while keeping your classic’s cooling system running reliably.
Rubber lower radiator hoses break down over time from heat cycling and coolant exposure, eventually leading to leaks and failure. Mishimoto’s Classic Line silicone lower radiator hose is built to improve on that weak point, carrying a maximum temperature rating of 330°F for added heat and pressure tolerance whether your Chevelle is a daily driver or a weekend cruiser. Two worm-gear clamps are included for straightforward installation, and this hose is finished in black to complement your engine bay. Like every Mishimoto Classic Line part, it’s backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
