Default cooling systems Q

i have a retro ford zeted stat pipe thing that relocates the stat to the side of the block for rwd fitment.

now, the rear of this is the return for the heater matrix, and has an M8 tapped hole to connect to the matrix - is this going to be too small a hole and cause any problems at all?

i dont have a fitting yet, but im gueesing the ID of this will be around 6mm?

its the black thing tot he left of the down pipe, the bit im on about you cant see as its behind the block


thanking yaw
