So standing up the radiator was the easy part, but finding hoses that worked was a another story. For anyone searching, i'm gonna post a few part numbers to help out.
Upper Radiator Hose - Goodyear 62426
Available from Amazon for at 20 bucks, Its the same length as the stock one without the power steering cooler and it worked perfect for my stand up griffin.
Lower Radiator Hose - NBH FM68 16.5in x 1/34in Flex hose
NBH 901 1 3/4 - 1 1/2 Adaptor
Both available from NAPA for 30 bucks.
I know that the flex hose is not the best looking option but it works perfect and is functional, so anyone looking for a budget friendly option this is your best bet. Putting up pics of both hoses.

WHY dont guys just use the water pump for a vent tube instead of the radiator?
I mean you can drill/tap the top pump by the outlet side and run that to the steam pipe.
much easier and less lines running over the turbo/front area.

I ended up just ordering the GRI-1-25241-X and will just weld a bung in place.

When you guys are cutting the upper radiator support and putting the 1" tubing back in, are you still jacking the front by the core support or are you the lucky ones with lifts? I just pulled my motor the other day and was a little sketched out jacking using the factory support
