Hello,

I have this same engine in my 1997 Mustang. he heater hose should go from the intake manifold passenger side corner closest to the firewall to the heater core outlet tube in the firewall. Usually these are molded hoses that should be replaced as such. You can find them at any auto parts store. Your local hardware store is a great and inexpensive place to get hose clamps, and new ones should be used every time a hose is replaced. Please get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex
