97 5.0 coolant tube

[yellow coupe]

I have searched this site and checked rockauto and the online Ford parts and I can't find a listing. This is the metal tubes that go from the front of the engine along the intake to the heater core hoses. Mine is almost rusted through at the heater hose connection under the transmission dipstick. Does anyone have a part number for this or a good used one for a 97?

you may have to try and get one from a salvage yard, see if you can take the old one off an weld a piece of metal or patch to old tube.

I don't think there is a aftermarket fix for this one out there. Next I would run distilled water and antifreeze to help eliminate the conern from happening again.
