Installing the metal heater hose piece into the aluminum intake and it started to thread in easy enough, but about halfway in it stops. I Didn't force it; just backed it out and looked at the threads. Looks like it cross threaded somehow, which makes no sense. This is 91Mustang lower intake. Can I assume this can't be tapped and cleaned up to work? I vacuumed out the port really well and into the hole where the thermostat goes. Couldn't see any metal in that hole, so I'm hoping nothing made it down inside the new head. If this is not repairable, I have the lower intake from the explorer donor, but nothing else. Upper was gone.
