Heater hose connection at the thermostat housing
While I'm waiting for parts and tools to repair my head, I'm changing all the coolant hoses to the silicone rubber type - heat and oil resistant and last pretty much forever. I'm looking at the heater hose connection at the thermostat housing with an eye to changing the fitting to use a 5/8" hose. I wonder if it's threaded into the block, brazed, or what?
Anybody know? Thanks, Chuck Yarter

From having my engine apart and very clean, it looked to me that the metal pipe fittings are pressed in, and probably sealed with some type of epoxy or sealant. I didn't see any evidence of left overs from being brazed in. 99% sure its not threaded, the pipe is too thin wall unless the threads were rolled, but I doubt that. The tube looks totally smooth.
