I am missing he hose from the engine block to the heater core. Will a cut garden hose work as a temporary fix until I get around to getting a real one or is this goign to cause just as many problems?

It won't stand the heat or the pressure. And I doubt it will withstand the antifreeze.

Any auto parts store has generic heater hose.
It's around 40 cents a foot.
I like NAPA hoses.
