Wet intake ?

Hey guys I have 90 f250 with a 351w and I had discovered a crack in the upper intake manifold. i called up my local parts guy and got the intake ok. My question is does the coolant pass through the upper manifold ? The one one from the parts place doesnt seem to have any passages for coolant. Looking under the hood it sure looks like a coolant hose running into the throttle body. I am thinking I recieved the wrong part!!

i don't think there is any coolant to the upper intake. It could be a egr coolant line running to the throttle body.

on most of the 302s and 351s they have a liquid cooled throttle body. if you look closer you should have a coolant line on one side of it and a return on the other. i don't think the coolant flows into the manifold, just the throttle body.

The purpose of the coolant through the throttle body is to keep the throttle valves from freezing in position.
