sizing the hoses on the radiator

Well I got a BE COOL radiator with a 90 degree elbow on the top of the rad. on the driver side. The 90 was installed do to the RamJet 350 and procharger being so close. Anyway the alum. 90 is 1 1/2 inches and the hose from the 3.8 v6 4th gen is 1 1/4inches. Is there other hoses that would fit beside the 3.8 one. I really don't want a junky look because it will be noticed.....thanks for the input

the lower hose was a slice and dice of the old 3rd gen lower hose...the 90 f-250 hose didn't work for me...
