After several less than stellar attempts to find a replacement upper radiator hose, I tried a Dayco 71555 (I'm not a huge fan of Dayco); the fit is pretty good.

Are the 2.3 turbo hoses different than the NA engines? I picked a really nice Motorcraft hose of an NA but my car is still stored and I haven't checked it yet.

Based on the catalogs, it looks like all 2.3s from '84 to '86 use the same hose. Congrats on your find!
