Hello Everyone, thanks for taking a look.

Recently bought a 04 Mustang GT and have run into an issue. Any help appreciated!

I just got off the highway and was sitting at a stop light, a spray of coolant hit my windshield and smoke started to pour. Pulled over and discovered that the heater intake nozzle( I believe connects to intake manifold) had broken off and hose to heater core had disconnected. I made a temporary repair but coolant is still leaking. Please see photos, a stream is now shooting out. Coolant is spraying out from intake manifold(If you look closely at photo you will see stream of coolant). What will parts will I need to repair? Is the heater intake nozzle a part of the intake manifold? I did the OEM block test for a blown gasket and tested negative with the dye remaining blue. Not sure how definitive of a test it is...

Almost certainly a new intake manifold will fix you right up. Very common problem.

I just finished doing the same job twice. Once for a 2000 Mustang GT and then for a 2002 Town Car. FWIIW, the Town Car was harder because of all the "stuff" that needed to be removed.
