When I replace my hoses in a few years, I'll see if I can try that. My setup is a 2-piece "spliced together" hose where one end is from a stock Ranger lower hose which fits onto the stock Ranger radiator. The other end is from a 5.0L Mustang which fits onto the water pump. Since the centers of both of those hoses are the same diameter, I could use one of those radiator hose patch kits. It started to leak green around the seal a while back, but re-tightening the hose clamp fixed that. It has been one of the more reliable parts of the swap. And if another hose posed too much of a problem, I'd probably do this setup again since it seems to be working well. I do remember getting that lower hose in and out was a huge pain. But that was to be expected since it was a pain to deal with back when it was a stock setup.
