hello everyone. I am new to this forum and its my first time posting a thread. I am in progress of swapping 5.4 4V (out of navigator) into my 99 mustang gt with 302 boss intake manifold and mmr adapter plates. I am using 99-01 cobra thermostat housing and I have connected all the coolant hoses to the engine and radiator. But I still have an extra tube that in coming out of the engine under the intake manifold to the left of the alternator. And it has 2 outlets. Does this tube go the heater core? If it does, where I am suppose to connect the other heater core to?
Thnx Guys

If looking for an educated guess, the large line is the heater return from the back of the water pump. The smaller line is for the degas/overflow bottle.

Thanks for replying.
-So do I have the degas/overflow bottle in my 99 stang? Is it the coolant tank? I do not have an extra input in the coolant tank. Do I need to connect it by a T shap connector?
- I am not planing to eliminate the heater. I think it help to cool down the engine due to more coolant fluid in the system(Correct me if I am wrong). So where does the heater feed connect to?
