V1 Heat exchanger pump hose?

[PHENDERSON]

Is this hose for the engine side of the heat exchanger loop? It's shaped identically to the original connected to the pump inlet. Or does it go somewhere else? Are any splices typically used to get from the engine to the tunnel tubes? I am planning on mounting my engine tomorrow and want to sort everything out first to make things easier later.

Thanks!!!

Looks like the one that gets cut in half to connect the two ends up front. I don't remember any connections supplied for the rear but I did mine after the fact so... Definitely want to figure out the plumbing before you put the engine in especially if you have a dual pass setup, there isn't much room between the manifold and fuel cell.

I do have the dual pass but it's already plumbed up. I already used a "Z" shaped hose for the front connections. Only thing left is engine side plumbing. I have all the engine cooling figured out. Only thing left is supply/return to the pip3s in the tunnel. I think it's for connecting directly to the pump, just not 100%.
