Here are some splicers and transitional splicers that can help when using a radiator that uses different hose sizes than the LSx:

I saw a guy on here with an old camaro that just used the stock LS1 camaro upper hose.

For my Nova, i just got a couple 1.5" u-bends cut and formed as needed, then welded it all up and used a couple pieces of straight hose to connect it to the rad and waterpump.

Those fittings shown above will also give you an easy place to put a mech temp sensor and the steam vent which can be handy.

I used goodyear 62426. It was a little smaller than my upper, but I sprayed some WD-40 on and it slid right on.
