2.5 Heater Core - Hose Routing Issue

[Zenobian_84]

For those of you with a 2.5, how exactly did you route the lines on the truck? The top tube is routed over behind the valve cover and into the port leading down to the intake area. The bottom tube is routed straight towards the front of the engine. 

 

 

The problem is the bend for the fitment of the top tube. I can't find a 90/45 angled piece to use for routing the top tube. Can some of you who have done the 2.5 bypass valve throw up some pictures so I can see how you've got it routed? Thanks in advance.

 

Pictures of my issue to be posted when I get out of class, for clarification purposes.

The Gates 28470 heater hose will work for this:

Thanks Hornbrod. Here's my fitment issue with what I'm running currently.

 

 

Unfortunately for me, AMC didn't have the hindsight that Chrysler did and just use the thermostat housing as the go-to for their heater core lines. Going to try to get one of those gates hoses tomorrow and post results when I can get it fixed.
