Paul mentioned that I was using AN16 on the new rad.
The AN16 aeroquip hose and fittings are available from
Summit Racing, as well as the Earls 1"NPT to AN16
adaptors.  Just have your radiator fabricated with 1"
NPT ports.

Then order part number 44705K306, quantity 2,
aluminum half-couplers from McMaster Carr.
Weld these to the two ports on the water pump.

    Perry,
      Better double check that half coupling to make sure
it is aluminum. All the fittings in that section are not
denoted to be alum. The full couplings are but not the
halfs.

They are aluminum, I have them and the top side is already
welded.  It looks like the default is 356-F aluminum, but the
starred items are 6061-T6.  If 6061-T6 is better then the
full couplings could be used and cut down.  Any drawbacks
to using the 356-F?

Also,  JEGS, at http://www.jegs.com has AN type connectors and hose for 1/4
the cost of Aircraft catalog fittings.  I got #8 90 degree turns for my Oil
lines for $16 not $60 from JEGS.  The oil metal shielded tube for the AN
type fitting may come in size 12 as well.  race cars use it.
