Just order a new pipe and possibly a new one way valve to go with it
Google ford 351 thermactor air pipe between the heads
The parts stores should have them by now too
Might need a torch to heat up the threads and remove the one way valve
That will ruin the valve in some cases
At the dealer, I replaced both to prevent a recheck

On a car once, I used J B Weld as a sealant and used a piece of thin stainless steel scrap, clamped in place with stainless steel zip ties and snipped ends.

This is sitting on a 79 bronco. My understanding was that these came with 351m or the 400, never thought I'd have a 351W.
I bought this off someone who bought it from the original owner in Georgia so there swap happened at some point.
Thank you for the info!
