the other thing you can do is find a rad the right size and then use a short piece of hose to connect to a piece of steel or aluminum tubing with the right bends to get over to the engine, then another short piece of rubber hose to connect there. that way the steel or aluminum tubing can be swaged to the same size as the connections required at each end. hard walled tubing also flows better than a rubber hose, especially the corrugated rubber hose. a steel or aluminum tube can also be painted or polished (stainless) for that shiny look I that is what you like.
