Hi Mariano,
See attached. Taken off original pipe. Measurements taken on area where the tube is not wasted. Dimensions are taken at centre line as best as I can judge. OD of tube is 1-3/4" I used my adjustable angle then transferred it to paper and got 55 degrees using a protractor. Hope this helps. Cheers,

Hi Mariano,
Always glad to help. Would be a good idea to add an inch either end and then trim to suit. In fact, you may need a few extra inches on the cylinder head end for the bending machine to have something to work with. It is a lot easier to cut off a bit than try to stretch a tube! Cheers,

Hi Jacques
I found a pair of pipes. Have same diameter.... seems to be from another Ford truck.... I think cut the large 90° large curve and weld the straight section This cutting and welding job can be a solution

Hi Mariano,
It might be worth noting that the radius of the bend at the cylinder head should be as close as possible to the original size to ensure the pipe lines up with the connecting hose and inlet pipes on the radiator. If the radius is much larger than original, the pipe will want to line up higher, but still parallel to the inlet pipes on the radiator. The hose at the radiator will compensate for some misalignment in any event if not excessive. Cheers,
