I love AN Hoses! One more modification to do while we have no coolant in the motor, lets upgrade the top radiator hose to AN style! The motor was rebuilt, the Tremec TKO installed, a couple more steps to go! "How to install an AN Radiator Hose, without welding! AutoPlumb.com" is all about what you can plan for when changing out your existing radiator hoses to AN style, in your classic muscle car. If I can do this at home, so can you! (This is also Part 29 of the Pontiac Engine Rebuild Series)

This is a very thorough description of what to do, how to do it, and what to watch out for. Mike is at the tail end of rebuilding his Pontiac 400, which is now a Butler Performance 467, because a Roller Lifter Broke! (see link below). Also fresh off of installing a New TREMEC TKO 600 from Silver Sport Transmissions.
