You might be able to use the V8 radiator with larger hoses if it's configured otherwise like the 6 cyl one. Just use a liner inside the hose at the engine connections (a short piece of smaller hose inside the larger one). It would look very close to stock, and only the most eagle-eyed inspector could tell if you did a good job of finishing the ends of the hose with the liner inside.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
