KLance221 Newbie Join Date: Feb 2007 Posts: 5	Intake Manifold My manifold intake is cracked, and need to replace it. But I was thinking instead of just replacing it with a 97 manifold, I could get a 99+ manifold intake and then have the extra modifications done to put on imported heads. Has anyone had this done before? What additional parts are needed, none of the websites i've found has said much about it. Also any idea on the price range? Thanks! 97 Mustang GT Convt.

Well it can be done! Casper98 has done a write up on it and I will link it. Instead of doing the normal manifold why dont you use TrickFlows new track heat 2V manifold. I mean it will cost more sure, but I think it would be worth it while you were doing it! http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums...ap-vt1878.html __________________ We expect shit to break, look foward to realizing exactly when it is happening, and than obsess about dropping plenty of cash to rebuild stronger, so we can try to run it hard as hell and break again.

its really not worth it to go buy a 700-800 dollar intake manifold and gain little to none on a n/a motor. Just stick to the pi intake. cheap money

I'm including a link to the page and was wondering if this would be a better intake for my 96 and 98 gt's. would it be better to use a p i intake or this one? any other suggestions for an intake manifold would be greatly appreciated http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-98...spagenameZWDVW

But personally I would still go with a different one than the PI! But then again casper has a good point if you dont want to spend a big chunk of change! __________________ We expect shit to break, look foward to realizing exactly when it is happening, and than obsess about dropping plenty of cash to rebuild stronger, so we can try to run it hard as hell and break again.

If you plan to make 500+rwhp then a aftermarket intake may be something to look into, for the money a P.I intake is hard to beat. __________________ Just another 10 second Mustang, what did you expect ? http://youtube.com/watch?v=BgykaUrmfvM

96GTRagTop Master of the Force Millenium Falcon "Just Living the Dream" Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Zip's Bubble Posts: 7,598	im not looking to make 500 rwhp, im looking to put like 350 to the wheels. i just wanted to make sure that i'd be able to do it with this intake. How much power can i expect to gain from the intake alone and will it stand p to a blower?

Also it might give you 15-20 HP and with some PI cams you cans see around 40-45 HP and with PI heads maybe 55-60! but the last numbers are optimistic! __________________ We expect shit to break, look foward to realizing exactly when it is happening, and than obsess about dropping plenty of cash to rebuild stronger, so we can try to run it hard as hell and break again.

Unless your like casper and are really good with these motors! __________________ We expect shit to break, look foward to realizing exactly when it is happening, and than obsess about dropping plenty of cash to rebuild stronger, so we can try to run it hard as hell and break again.

96GTRagTop Master of the Force Millenium Falcon "Just Living the Dream" Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Zip's Bubble Posts: 7,598	i'm pretty much looking for bolt on power. I really don' want to have to pull the motor out of the car unless im putting a blower on her. Which will hopefully be acurring next spring. i need to keep the noise level of the car down so exhaust is out. I'm looking for the maximum amount of bolt on power. Any ideas would be helpful.

I've got a few buddy heading down to va in a few weeks and maybe we could arrange a meeting to pick up the intake.
