water crossover on intake manifold leaking coolant

hardhitter · January 4th, 2009, 11:37 PM

Is the only option for fixing a coolant leak because of a crack near the termostat housing a new intake manfold?

Lefty · January 4th, 2009, 11:46 PM

Yeah, mine cracked/blew and I got a new one with the aluminum crossover.

Anyone know of a good upgrade for supercharged applications?

Is this any good: Edelbrock 2838 - Edelbrock Victor Jr. Intake Manifolds - summitracing.com

Yea. You can usually find them pretty cheap on ebay I think. New manifold,gaskets, and a few hours of time at most youll be back in business.

The stock pi one flows quite well but if youve got the money to spend check out the foxlake p51. With the edelbrock youd need a carb, stand alone igntion control bs, etc. Its not just a direct replacement.

What kind of gain if I have 420hp now?

On the stock shortblock? Personally id stick the $800 the p51 costs towards a forged bottom end before going with more power. Each to their own though. As far as gains go I havent a clue, I dont care much for them/look into them much although I do believe its in the upper rpm range and thats about all.

You could also go with a typhoon. Theyre pretty much the same as factory just all metal and cost about $500. So weather thats worth it or not would be up to you.

Itll be fine although id try to find an oem/ford one for the same price if possible, then again im a bit picky about aftermarket/oem replacement stuff whereas some people dont care as long as itll do.
