I have an 89 5.0. My question is deleting the heater tube. I have been told that you can't delete tube on a fuel injected 5.0, but I have a hard time believing that. My play plan was to install (CTS) directly into intake, cap off bottom port of water pump and connect top port like normal. Any pics or suggestions would be great. Thanks!

You can delete the tube. The challenge is mounting the coolant temp sensor into the intake in a way that the sensor tip sees active coolant flow and doesn’t sit in a dead spot.
