The radiator position changed from the 240-260Z to the 280Z. So the bends and lengths of the hoses would be the key, therefore the 240Z hoses would be the way to go, to fit the car. The front covers of all of the engines are the same, so the bottom hose diameter would be the same. The only thing hard to verify by part number is if the top hose diameter changed, but that seems unlikely since it would be designed to work with the bottom hose.
