Well getting a few things done.
Did what jodoe/drsraven said and pulled the column back, got rig of the double joint at the column which was creating a bunch of issues and ended up here with straight rod, 1 single support bearing and all angles at between 30-36 degree's. No binding.
USed those measurements as well as this website to determine final angles

....
Mocked out my PS lines ........ with my chicken strathc
And then as e015475 suggested ...... I replaced all fittings with JIC/6AN [16/18mm x 1.5mm] .... and ordered hydraulic hose from discounthydraulic hose which all came in like 3 days delivered to hose. Super quick.
Got the Radiator in with a little bit of trimming.
Now need to wrok on fan and shroud ....... them get it plumbed with the transmission cooler lines as well as coolant.
Getting closer to first start at least. Oh yeah fixed and finished bulk of my ls wiring ... obviouusly still a lot more to do ther ewith teh chassis wiring and connecting it all up properly to starter/battery and lights/gaauges etc.
