Well....obviously didn't get much response here, so I came up with my own solution. I replaced the Carter water pump that came with the install kit with an Edelbrock waterpump that had threaded water ports (3/8" threads). I used a straight fitting for the lower hose to the heater control valve, and a 90 degree fitting for the water by-pass to the neck. I then went to my local AutoZone and found a hose with the tightest "U" I could find and a 5/8" on one end and 3/4" on the other. The clearances are tight, but it fits perfectly and looks excellent!
