460 f-350 4x4.Is the metal heater hose connection going into the block(intermidiate block between block and waterpump) a dealer only item or can it be bought from the local parts store?

 

I can't say about your particular application, but I have found this item for other engines at parts stores.

 

The one for my 94 F350 w/460 company truck was a dealer only but I bet I could find it for a different year or style in the after market . Other than serpentine belt change (I don't know when the 460 did) Little changed and surely you can find the part after market.

 

Thanks Guys it a 95, Just don't want to pay the dealer if I can get it aftermarket.
