RADIATOR trouble

I’ve got a 92 firebird with the 5.3 vortec.
I threw a 4th gen firebird in, modified it to make it fit. The problem is the radiator hose outlets on the pump are drastically smaller than the 5.3. Anyone else run into this?

Let me rephrase, the rad hose that fits the 5.3 is way too big for the 4th gen radiator.
