The engine is being installed in a Toyota 4Runner.

This is what I did I only replaced the hose and used the existing barbs.
I coated the degreased Barbs with Silicone Sealant as the hose ID was not a tight fit. I could not find better clamps that were small enough in time to finish the job and doubled up on the regular hose clamps.
Been in use for about 1 year now with no leaks in the hoses or where they are hooked up.
