Default EG sized radiator hose inlet/outlet question

So I'm pretty set on a eg sized radiator for my ef w/a crossmember of some sort. The thing is is that the B series motor I run has larger radiator hoses than the Civic used to. With this new radiator I don't want to have to worry about it leaking so I need a radiator with the 2.25 inlet/outlet.
Lookin on the net I'm seeing several that don't come this way or isn't mentioned.
for instance: griffin radiators, koyo, etc.
Or would I be better off switching to smaller hoses. What all would I need to buy and from what motor to make that possible.

fluidyne 1/2 sized
but no one lists their hose inlet/outlets

i ran in to this problem too on my 95 ls swap... went to the hardware store and found some things, i guess you would call them metal pipe reducers, they have threads on them, but they have been holdin up fine for a couple of years now.
