How many radiator hoses the C43 has?
rebuilding my C43 and need to know how many hoses this engine has, I counted 4, two on passenger side and two on the driver side. When I look up the parts I only found 3.
Can someone provide me the parts numbers for these or provide a diagram of it.
Thanks.

I'm working on a 55 swap right now and was looking at that also. Unfortunately I'm away from the car for another 2 weeks so I haven't had a chance to go back and confirm - but I don't think the EPC is correct for my VIN. For example - the upper hose from the upper radiator to the thermostat is likely the goofy hose #6 with part number A2025014982 yet the EPC doesn't think that's applicable for my VIN. (This is the hose with the long additional hose that goes back to the top of the expansion/fill tank.) I think hose #5 is the upper hose for a different model. There are also some other small differences b/c of the trans cooler and also the routing of the hose that goes to the bottom of the expansion/fill tank. I plan to confirm part #s with what's actually on the car before ordering for all the hoses as the EPC doesn't jive with what I was removing. Will be a couple weeks before I can do so.
