I bought some Samco coolant hoses on e-bay, but was informed after the fact that they were out of stock. I quickly purchased another set and they shipped today. Turns out I accidentally bought the NA hoses! What is the difference between the two? Are they not interchangeable?

Dammit...now I'm confusing myself.

When we did that goofy engine swap on Na-games car we had an issue, but now I can't remember which engine it was that it wouldn't fit...

PM him...I know he remembers.

I am interested in the Lower NA hose if you want to sell it. What color did you get ?

I think the difference on the hoses were the diameter where it attaches to the radiator.
