I saw this intake on CL but the hole in the rear of the passenger side looks to me like a rear cooling port would go there but appears to be twice as big as I would expect it to be.
He is claiming no damage or port work.

Looks like some casting flash or maybe he threaded it cockeyed

It is bigger than some of the factory fittings for sure. I use a 3/4" NPT hose barb fitting from the plumbing section at my local hardware to run the heater hose to the core.

For $200, I'd say it's worth a look. Core plug if not needed, or retap and pipe thread bushing to size needed. Weld it up if you have access to a TIG

and looking at this picture the hole to the left of the thermostat in the picture looks enlarged and oval. I wonder why he is selling it

In this pic you can see the hole there is definitely some flash or something

This intake won't work on my 86' heads, I was just looking to see if there were any complete running Olds engines on there which there hardly ever is and there wasn't but I ran across this intake and it seemed like a good price but that hole caught my attention.
