That would mean pulling the heater out so I' talk to the guys at what ever radiator shop you go to first. Worse case they might be able to solder new ends on the tubes.
That's what I was thinking, extend the tubes off the core so they go out into the engine compartment. And of course use tubes with the raised area at the end so the hose is properly on there.
