Heater Hose Nipple Removal
What's the best way to get a heater hose nipple out of a head?
The one I have has seen better days and I was planning on tapping the heads so I can use AN hardware.

I tried that, but it wouldn't budge. But I didn't want to get too aggressive with it in case my memory was a little fuzzy on how it went together.

Get aggressive. You wont hurt the head. They can be a biotch.

I know some people that could use the same treatment. 
Thanks guys!
I was pretty sure that's what I needed to do, but it's nice to get a second opinion before I 'F' it up.

I used WD40 and let sit overnight. The next day I used a pair of channel lock pliars and it came right out.

I take my time and get it out nice and easy. That way I can use it again if I need to. With the price these vendors charge for stuff like this, it's a good thing to hold on to everything you can, to protect yourself from the price gouging.

Since i was replaceing mine with a 90* from a 301 I just beat the crap out of mine. Just don't get too aggressive and damage your head. Mine actually came out fairly easy after a few wacks. Good luck...

Heater Hose Nipple re-Location
Seen a 74-75? GTO and it had the heater hose nipple in the front of the head. It was clean looking, looked better than that factory looped hose and I was wondering why it is not done more often.

My understanding is that having the hose in the back of the head helped keep the heater hose shorter.
I plan on running a hose from one head to the other to help with coolant cross-flow and (hopefully) keep the temps even from one side to the other.
It may not work, but it looks good on paper and I can always change it later.
