'67 Barracuda w/360

Here is a pic of my 67 with a 3 core 68 radiator.I had the rad shop recore it and move the lower hose connection to the pass side. I'm using a stock shroud with a Jaguar thermal clutch and a flex-a-lite 17" fan. Two problems I'm having is finding a lower rad hose-a 340 from a 70 car wont work and I have to use a sleeve(from summit) on the lower connection on the rad. Rad is 1.5" and the W/P inlet is 1.750. If you get the rad rebuilt see if they can change the lower connection to 1.750. I'll end up using a flex hose which I dont want.
