well i broke the lil dinky plastic adapters that were on the factory heater core hard lines at the fire wall. Just slipped some hose over the metal tubing and clamped it.
Then ran all new lines.
years ago i used my heater core to chill the water in my W/A setup so i didnt have my heater hoses hooked up all summer.
I dont see a problem at all with the longer lines. possibly 3' longer max?

I ran mine over to the passenger fender like nonnie was talking about and routed it back to the water pump and it worked great. My brother has the truck now and it is still the same way. It has been like that for years no problems.
