My set up is just the opposite. I have a Griffin aluminum radiator with the smaller Ford connection, and my y-block. I just went to my muffler shop buddy with the hose that fit the water pump and a hose that fit the radiator. He found a piece of scrap stainless tubing that fit the radiator hose, (small diameter), then stretched the other end to fit the Y-block end, (bigger diameter). I knocked a few outward dimples on both ends. 4 hose clamps and it has worked great.
