LS into FJ40 Radiator hoses?

[StinkyPig]

Does anyone have pictures and or suggestion on radiator hoses for the LS series into the 40?

I'm installing an LQ9 6.0L with the AA radiator and the bottom hose installation is driving me crazy. Hoping to find someone who has crossed this bridge already?

Here's one option though I don't know if it will work for that engine/rad combo. It's a bit expensive but after dozens of trips to the auto parts store and many wasted weekends the expense is worth it IMHO.

Summit Racing SUM-390036 - Summit Racing® Stainless Steel Flexible Hoses - Overview - SummitRacing.com

The 36" length is enough to do both inlet and outlet and comes with adapters to fit various diameters. Some kits have polished covers over the rubber adapters. The kit above is the cheaper option w/o covers even though the photo in the link shows them - it looks more like this:

I used the hose terrx showed above for my top hose, along with a 90 I cut from a whole hose I had. For the bottom hose (from a 1978 40), I cut down a stock hose and it fit almost perfectly. I did shove a spring in it to keep it from collapsing.

Guys,
This helps. Thank you for your input!

I took a coat hanger that I bent for the shape I needed into kragen and found two hoses that matched the shape (at some point in it's length) and cut em apart. Used a griffen rad myself, ths the ports on the rad were different than what came off the water pump.... So I got some adapters from summit to make up the difference.

Just another option.
