Bypass Hose Problem with Magnum Conversion

[matt63]

I just finished the installation of the Edelbrock Magnum heads and intake on my 360 "LA" (now 408) engine.  There was minimal problems adapting it to oil through the pushrods.  However, I just noticed that the Magnum intake manifold port for the bypass hose comes straight out instead of at 45 degrees so the moulded factory bypass hose won't fit.  Anybody got a pic of a Magnum bypass hose?  I think the water pump outlet is in a different location on the Magnums.  Any ideas?  A moulded hose  is required because things are tight.

Here's  a pic.  I'm just going to splice 2 hoses.

The factory hose worked fine for me??  Same set up as you have.

Thanks for the pic.  It looks like yours is set farther back on the intake which would work.  Perhaps I can shorten the hose as things are kind of kinked.  I ordered a magnum hose just in case I have to splice 2 hoses. Silly little problems.
