    Cut or undo the heater hoses at the firewall and join the two with a suitable piece of tubing. A piece out of an old chair leg will do if you have nothing else. You should replace the heater hoses when you replace a core anyway.

    If you can get to a parts store you could purchase a heater hose with a suitable u-turn and fit it directly to the engine's connections. Keep the coolant flowing through the loop.
