They make reinforced heater hose that will bend but not crimp. I would use one of those and cut the mounting tab off that one and reuse it. I am guessing it is metal when it passes something hot, like the exhaust so you could shield it like has been mentioned.
I thought maybe Ford used that same V8 in the Volvo XC90 when they owned Volvo (we had a 2005 and it hauled a$$), but it is a 4.4L V8 also designed by Yamaha. It does sit transverse like in the SHO, but I am doubt there is that part of a carryover.
