your going to need the line that runs up the middle of the intake. get on Mustang Parts & Performance - American Muscle and look at the sticky they have the part number from ford most dealerships carry a few in stock and its about 35 doallars. without this the intake wont sit low enough to bolt down.

 

You may want to check around for the water pipe and the PI gaskets. I have read a few times that the earlier PI years maybe different parts and lower prices. I just install the intake and it was 35 for gaskets and 42 for the water pipe. Good luck with your swap. And if you get 3/8 NPT tee and closed end threaded nipple you can run both temp sensors from the one tapped hole.

really confused me. whats NPT?

 

NPT = national pipe thread, its specific thread pitch cut on a taper for sealing. Most things plumbing related are with NPT.

They should come as a set.

But you need the heat transfer tube. I have one ready to go if you want it. I'll sell it cheap

 

AHH I NEED ONE! how much? u gave me a great deal last time,

 

PMd ya.

 

wow im confused
"Once that is on you can install the new coolant pipe and bolt it onto the back of the head."
when did it ever say we needed a coolant pipe?

Yeah the coolant tube is a must. It redirects it to the side so the deeper PI intake will fit in the block.

I didnt tap my crossover for the coolant sensor. I just took my old crossover off the NPI intake and used that. No tapping required. Its the same thing

 

i am getting the hose but is that the same as this line? this is dumb because it doesnt even mention this line in the american muscle necesity for parts

 

The problem with that is there is a rubber gasket that goes with the crossover tube that seals it with the intake.

If that gasket breaks you cant buy a new one

 

Im pretty sure the AM site lists it as the heat transfer tube.
Its a ford part.

 

so this is different frm what im buying frm u

 

Nah, what im sending you is the heat transfer tube.

this guy going down the center of the block

http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/mustangtuning/pi-install-image-14.jpg

 

so do i need any other tubes? lol

omg it just came in the mail and im so psyched oh and guess what? it has the aluminum piece on it and i didnt even know it was going to have one, love getting stuff from users here. best 40$ haha

 

Haha no that tube is the only tube you need... They call it all kinds of different names. But its the coolant tube in the valley of the block.

The write up on AM tells you everything thats needed. Its a piece of cake!!!!!

 

then whys there another hose to the right in this pic?
http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/mustangtuning/pi-install-image-01.jpg

 

The other hose is something you can replace if you want to.

You dont have to.

You do need that nipple though. Idk if your car came with one or not. The nipple should have o rings on it

 

The nipple is like 8 bucks at ford.

 

but do i need a nipple? i thought the 98s already have it

 

starting the swap today, dont have the heater line but im a start removing the stuff and seeing if i have a newer water nipple and etc, wish me luck!

 

You'll find out if you need the nipple when you tear it down. good luck man. Hopefully the heater tube gets there in time

 

thanks again sharkbait. got manifold off, now just put towels in the runners so i dont worry bout **** getting in there. gonna take a break and start working and cleaning later tonight. um another question, on my old manifold i had another gasket on top of the manifold and the new p.i doesnt have another gasket on top of one. i know it comes with a replacement one that i already put on there.

 

The NPI intake has a gasket thats like the shape of the top of the intake

while the PI intake has like an oring style gasket.
You only need the oring style for the PI

and no problem buddy. Always glad to help

 

man, now im stuck on this water pump, so you gotta take off the 4 outside bolts to the pulley? they r being a pain

 

it is easier to take out those bolts if the belt is left on till ya break them loose so it wont spin as bad you can use your hand and just put a bit more pressure on it to hold it still just dont take them all the way out till after ya take off the belt
