I might move my temp sensor to that hole and use the temp sensor hole to the intake side of the heater, through the heater valve first of course.

I suspect heater hose fittings were not a big priority when Ford designed the Hi Rise intake.

Any chance you could post a nice photo of what it is you're dealing with?
