Default LS1 in Foxbody need help radiator hose

Does anybody know what the size of the lower hose of a mustang radiator is. I currently have an LS1 electric meziere race version water pump and need to order the inlet fitting for it that wasn't included but don't know what size I need. I'll be using a mustang radiator but don't have one in hand now to measure it. Let me know if someone knows what size it is or if someone can measure it for me. I appreciate it.

its a bit off topic , but you'll be surprised how well and easy an f-body radiator fits there.
all you have to do is seat it on the condenser lower mounts (assuming you're not using AC) and use the stock mustang upper rad. hold down. the only mod you have to do it a small notch on the bottom of the pass side core support and viola!
plus you get to use the stock f-body hoses!

This only works on non ABS cars...the ABS box sits right where the passenger side radiator hose would be.

Think one could use the stock Mustang radiator with some different hoses?
