Default 69 F-body swap looking for radiator hose info

Hey guys im working on my car again and just bought a griffin swap radiator PN# 8-00009-LS
and it has both hoses on pass side and was wondering what hoses y'all had used to plumb the radiator like this



the numbers I had found GY # 61609 and 61099 but IDK if thats would work for me and I cant seem to find any G/Y hoses anywhere
I have searched few boards hoping to find some info but here I am

I found it easiest to take measurements and browse the wall of hoses at your local auto parts store. Something else that works well is to cut a wire coat hanger and bend it into the form you need and take it back behind the counter with you.

Try the SEARCH function. Also try other forums. I have to splice two for my swap, but I'll use the GATES thermo clam and mightntry to hide the splice with a partnumber wrapper. Anyone know how thick those thermo clamps are once shrunk down?

These worked good for me. Just had to take my time and trim them slowly. I have a truck style water pump. The Big piece I cut off the top hose to discard looked like a ? mark. My radiator was nicely made by Superior.
