Heater hose nipple replacement

[avionics tech]

I recently needed to replace the heater hose nipple on the intake of my 5.2 L magnum. I searched extensively and could not find a direct oe replacement. I found that the early big block engines has a hose nipple that is slightly longer, but can be a suitable replacement. The hose nipple is 5/8 pipe threads. Hope this helps anyone that has come across before.
