Ideally you want the the hoses from the donor/supply vehicle plumbed in this way:
1/ One hose connected to the suction side of the water pump to allow for circulation
2/ Other hose plumbed into the top of the cylinder head or underneath the thermostat housing to obtain the most amount of heat from the donor/supply engine
Installing a "Y" in each of the heater core circuit hoses will work providing there is a coolant shut-off valve in the circuit for the heater core AND it is shut off when you're trying to heat the cold engine, otherwise most of the coolant will take the path of least resistance and circulate through the heater core instead of the cold engine.........
The system works well but it can be hard on the donor/supply engine since the ice cold coolant from the cold engine can drastically reduce the operating temp. of the donor/supply engine...................
