I assume you mean factory GN hoses.

The f body has the lower hose slightly higher than the factory radiator. You can get a Spectra replacement radiator for an 87 regal that is the same construction as the f body, and has the lower hose in the correct place. Either work, i just use the g body replacement now.

Does this radiator have the built in coolers?

Trans cooler only.

I think the Z-28 rad is 1/4 inch thicker than a regular F body! If memory serves me right the Z-28 is 1 1/4!
