If you buy a small piece of plastic dowel the same diameter as the heater hose inlet hose inside diameter and make the length 1 inch long with a 1/4" drilled hole in the center you will not need to worry about your new heater core failing under WOT testing.
Insert it about 4inches in the hose and then attach the hose to the right rear water fitting for the heater. Done deal. I have posted this for years on PY. Dick B and others I believe have done the mod. The Ford Motor Company has done the mod on their "interceptor" vehicles.
