Coolant leaves the intake manifold and needs to return to the water pump or radiator.

Negative...you need a gates b87629 hose to connect the water pump outlet/inl. Any parts store should be able to get it quickly.

There is no coolant running into the Intake on an LT1 or LS1...

Fits like a glove, right off the shelve. Clears frame rails. About $10.00 at Autozone. Thank you, Aviator
