On my stock '57 LCF 283, I had to find a hose with the right shape and then cut it down to fit for the upper, I can't remember what I did for the lower but I think I just took the old one to my favorite old time parts house and matched it.

I will look to see if I have the numbers that I used for my 383 installation. It will depend on what you have for a thermostat housing, I have an adjustable (rotation) angled up version. I do beleive I needed to cut one if not both to fit.
This can be as cheap or expensive as you want to make it, but a combination of rubber/silicone straight pieces and metal elbow straight pieces could be easier and faster than trying to make a specific molded hose fit. And, in my opinion, 100 times better looking than a universal hose.
