Heater Hose Routing?

[Rodent]

So, I am building a 50th anniversary tribute build of the 49 Ford that my dad and I built together after my tonsils were yanked out. I am using the Cadillac engine with carbs,  unlike the original build that had the blower.  I would like to add heater hoses, but the 1:1 Cadillac engine has the fittings for the heater hoses on the driver's side, exiting the water pump (green circle area). Not sure how one would route heater hoses to the passenger side of the engine compartment (red circle). No room in the front to cross over,  and the distributor is in the rear. Suggestions?

I believe that the fittings for the water hoses for the heater were located on the Water Pump on the passenger side and the rear of the Intake Manifold. The rear hose would mount to a small upright fitting and the "hose" portion would be easily routed away from the Distributer. I would run the front hose too the passenger side inner fender and then back to the firewall.  Of course this all depends on the year model of the engine. The very early Cadillac and some other GM products like the Pontiacs had their heater cores mounted on the drivers side. I don't know what year model the engine in the kit represents but it sounds as if it may be say a early '50's engine. Since it is a custom I would use the later model configuration for convenience if nothing else.

It appears to be a 1958 365. As installed in the Cadillac, the heater hoses both come out of the driver's side of the water pump, and join metal tubes that run down the inner fender. As you mentioned, the Cadillac appears to have the heater core on the driver's side. I believe that the intake manifold on the early Cadillac V8s is "dry".
