On your 5.7/6.4 Hemi Swap what upper and lower radiator hoses did you use? I have a Auto City Classic Radiator where both inlet and outlet is on the passenger side. If you used a Champion Rad or similar where the inlet and outlet are on the passenger side, it would be similar.
 
Well...not much response here. So in looking further I found that Gates has a molded hose catalog with some dimensions and a photo of the actual hoses. About page 110 is the hose pictures. The catalog is linked below. I looked through the catalog, found some that might work. I plugged those part numbers into Rockauto and they have a 360 spin view of the hose. I was able to scratch a few off the list based on that view. I ordered a few upper and lower hoses. The catalog beats wandering around the parts store. Give me a bit of time and I will reply back on what I found.

I was an Auto Parts Store owner for many years. I can tell you that your best option would be to know what you need and go into a full service auto parts store and have them let you look at all of the hoses. I have done this many times myself when I had a fitment issue...
 
Just throwing this out there, if it's a down flow radiator (as opposed to a cross flow), I prefer the inlet and outlet to be on opposite sides. Proven better cooling that way.
