You know what's crazy - I found the exact lines I need in the Original Parts Group website yesterday evening. About $85 for stainless steel lines (2) with all the appropriate fittings.

You may be okay with going 'hard tubing' all the way. These lines that I may yet order run right to the bottom of the radiator - which is connected to the frame - virtually - so you may not have a problem, other than using the softer material.

If I get the motor in and this connection routine turns into a hassle, I may just leave the radiator loose, make the connections and then tie the radiator down. Failing that, I'll just clip the ends off and go soft tube to the radiator.
