They are very proud of their parts aren’t they? I had to replace the coolant water pump on my 4.4 a couple of years ago. It was a little over $400. But it did have a show quality paint job.
The belt was actually not bad at $12.
I don’t remember the shipping charges but after all I was about 20 miles farther down the road. Lol

We took w beak hoses to NAPA and went through their hose stock to find workable replacements, then cut them down to fit.

Limited production part. Proper material, wall thickness etc., molded to fit correctly. What is piece of mind worth? and consider cost of time to modify something else to almost fit.
I recently stopped a sea trial because I could see a BS auto store hose collapsing and starving the sea water pump. Not to disparage the idea of blue silicone installed competently, but not everyone is a good mechanic.
My 2c is take the $ hit and know you did it right when it's under the deck and you are underway.
