RE: Heater hoses bypass
Find the ports on the engine that have the heater hoseshooked tothem(just follow the 2 hoses from the firewall to the engine)
Remove the heater hoses from those 2 connections
Take a piece of 5/8"hose just long enough (about 1.5' or less) and connect the two connections on the engine and use a hose clamp on each so now you have formed a loop between the heater "to" line and the heater "return" line on the engine
Take the old heater lines and cut them back out of the way a bit and fold the ends over so no fluid leaks out. If you want you could cut them flush with the firewall and you’ll be fine too. Or you could use a 5/8" male to male connector and loop the old heater hoses as well. any of the above will work.

7Mp freebie. It's a $300 retail jobber, though.
XMas gift. Sure beats that 1.3Mp I was using.
I'm almost surprised you didn't comment on the paint coming off the intake. The intake is now in a box getting ready to be shipped to 19Mustang66 (I think that's the right guy). And, I do have a new spacer to adjust the fan, too!
