Ok im getting real frustrated, I kept reading on different forums that 96 and 97 mustangs did need the new heater/coolant tube and nipple, and 98 didnt. Well I tried my hardest to get my intake in there and its hitting the heater/coolant tube in the valley. Autozone or oriellys cant even order the part, i gave them ford numbers. Then I went to the dealer and they wanted 30 bucks for the water pump oring and 60 something for the heater tube!!! and they couldnt even find the nipple thing. What gives!

go the the auto parts store and buy rubber hose, and use a hose clamp to clamp it to the nipple that come out the back of the water pump, and connect the other end to the heater core.
Well I just NOW finally got it put back together. Im not happy, the guy I bought the intake off of sent me NPI gaskets, so I had to use those and a TUHON of gasket sealer. And I ended up with quite a few extra bolts that quickly found NEW homes among the intake holding down brackets and what not. Now im friggen scared to death to even start it up tommorow afternoon.
There really isn't too many bolts during the swap and im not sure where you would have missed some at. Similar threads
