Angry Rough afternoon!

Well boys today i finally got the mustang out and got to drive it and was gonna keep it out for good . Got the car out...and boy does it run good after the cam install, it feels like a whole new car!

BUT.............................

I was doin about 40 and decided to get on it, and went WOT and coolant shot out onto my windshield and smoke started ROLLING out of the car, it looked like the car was in flames lol.
Well pulled over and popped the hood and the hose coming from the heater core that goes through the firewall and connects to the back of the intake manifold broke, BUT it broke the plastic cupler that actually connects to the intake manifold off! Soooo...idk what to do...anything like this happen to you guys..im thinkin im gonna have to get a new intake.

What do ya think, i couldn't get any good pics or i would post em sorry.

Well the piece that broke off was attatched to the intake manifold...like it broke off in the hose..the hose was fine. It was the gayest thing!

Take this opportunity to upgrade. The edelbrock would probably go very nicely with your new cams
