Does anyone know if the waterpump hose that runs from the water pump to the back of the engine can be changed without removing the intake manifold
on a 1998 GT? I think I know the answer. I've had the new manifold for over
3 years waiting for the stock one to break. Well I've got a leak under the manifold but it looks like it's coming from that hose and not the manifold.
I've been driveing the car like this and some days the radiator will be 3 or
4 inches low on coolant and somedays it doesn't loose any. WTF. Also
whats the chance of this hose suddenly bursting and coolant going all over
the place and stranding me somewhere? Any thoughts?

Easy for you maybe. If there is a way to screw it up I can. I'm going to give it a try one weekend. I think its about $300.00 labor to change the intake.I've got the intake with the aluminum water crossover but it's not the P.I. intake. It also has the gaskets built into the intake.

just take your time, and i when i did it i seperated all the bolts, so i knew where everthing went when it was time to put it back together, just be easy on the bolts around the thermostat if they havent been taken out in a while, i heard of a few people breaking those...

also replace and grease the o-rings when you swap the injectors over. A nick will give you fits and they are cheap to replace.
