Default Lower B&B Radiator Hose with a 302

After being off from building the car for about eight months for various reasons I am trying to get back into it. I'm evaluating how to do the lower radiator hose. I decided not to use the stainless flex hose as the joint at the radiator needs to angle up about 22 1/2 deg. at that point without going down further. It looks like I will go with the exhaust tubing method with the 90 deg. bend going up to the water pump.

I am guessing I will go with the standard water pump lower hose and cut it to connect to the tubing going down. Do any of you know the part number for the short 1 3/4" hose connecting the radiator to the tubing? I am trying to save hours of looking at hoses at the parts stores. It looks like it needs a 22 1/2 deg. bend in it.

The reason I decided to go with the tubing is it seems to be the best method to get it up higher out of the way. I may even crush it a little with my press where it goes under the frame to get it up higher. If any of you have pictures that would help.

Thanks.
Wayne
