Default LS6 coolant line

What's a good price on the front coolant line (#1256878) that is required to do a LS1 to LS6 manifold change?
My wife went by the dealer to order one for the swap and they quoted her $40+ for it. I did one a couple of years ago, but didn;t think it was near that much.
Heck, I'll just use my old LS1 lines to fab one if they're that much

That's a decent price... I think I had to pay $60 for mine.
