so apparently it's $50 for that hose, with the 20% discount it got down to $42... so i said fuck all that shit. what else can i do... get the same size hose and get bends for it?

I just used a piece of straight GATES hose (top quality)from parts store and 'bowed' it over. No kinks, plenty of clearance, and looks OK.

You could get straight hose and come up off engine to a 90* elbow, then hose over to the heater fitting.
