Any idea how to get fittings out of aluminum intake?

You could always drill them out. Once the fitting is thin enough, it will basically collapse and the remnants can usually be easily removed. In any event, you'll probably need to clean up the threads, so make sure you have a couple correct size NPT taps available.

if it`s 3/8", you could always take it out to 1/2" if u mess the threads up !
