Here is the web site for a company that specializes in Earl's fittings. And

AN-24 hose end fittings.  http://www.amstreetrod.com/html/auto-fit.html  I
did not see any AN-24 weld on adaptors for the radiator, however.  If you do
not already have an AN-24 male threaded head coming off the radiator, how
will you attach the hose connection?

There may be an insurmountable problem  when it comes to running large hoses
with AN Fittings.  I just got off the phone with C & R Racing and they said
the upper limit for them with AN fittings is 1.250."  Interestingly, they
sometimes run as small as .750 hose on competition engines.  I finally
ordered a pile of 1.125 female pipe bungs and I am going to convert the
engine outlets and the radiator to this size.  I was very tempted to order
1.5 regular hose inlets and just forget about the AN stuff.  Either way, it
is a compromise.

Good decisions come from experience.
Experience comes from bad decisions.

Have you considered 1-3/8 inch wiggins couplings and aluminum pipe Jerry?

Butch, you got any wiggins couplings left?
