Am I searching for something thats not there?

All I can come up with is NA 3.8 upper rad hose like this (pictured below). The one that goes through the plastic strap on the top right (looking aft) part of the shroud. Not aplicable with Vin 9.

Multiple sites come up with this after I select Vin 9, The also say it's cut to fit.
If I were to "cut to fit" I could make it work but it would collapse the elbow in the middle as its molded greater than 90*

The one I'm looking for is flat on the horizontal plane and has two 90* elbows if your looking top down. Like so:

I've seen a kit on Gbodyparts with metal tubes and rubber elbows but I'm just looking for a OE replacement.

Anyone been through this?
 
Thanks Jerry!

It definately helps, at least it paints a clear picture of my options.

Shit that goes back 11 years ago ... probably even less options out there now.

NAPA 7899 is what HA people use to connect to the F-body radiator. Maybe you can cut to fit. One idea.

Bummer Brad ... Thats the one that comes up under the regular 84 GN search on Napaonline. Thats actually the one I got the pic above from, Haha. Thanks anyway though. I wonder if i get a spring on it to keep it open, after it warms and cools 100 times, if it will form a 90*?

I actually have a Dayco molded like the N/A 3.8 in the gararge. Once you bend that elbow in, it looks just like the pic below. (Complements of Turbofish via Jerryl)

Thanks Toby, Great looking engine bay, not too many dressed up HAs out there. Unfortunately I'm running the stock fan with the shroud. Thanks for the input though ... Enough ideas getting kicked around and we'll come up with something.
