Matt,


I'm not saying your blocking the hoses will hurt anything - because I really
don't know - it might.


What I did when this happened on an '85 I used to own was to get a length of
high temp hose and fasten it between the send and return hoses you speak of.
Creating a loop so the coolant could still flow. That "repair" is still in
place because a friend of mine now owns that van.


At least that way you could keep traveling with no worries and get a new
heater core at your convenience.


Good Luck.
