Question: I got a explorer lower, 98 I believe, no EGR or ACT boss in the #5 intake runner, BB part number. Is it worth keeping as is and find a stock fox lower to take the oil baffle out of?
Is the fox baffle the same weeny piece my GT40 lower has?

Gonna dump some pics for the two or three that are still following this boring sht. Oh, and Noobz since all he see's are ones and zeros or dots and dashes depending on what octane gas he is using when he sees this.
First the failure, human error:
Didn't let them soak long enough! quick wipe down with laqure thinner and primer/paint.
bolt it all up with the AC condenser in place.
Next:
take this weeny PCV shield off and install this:
I had asked about doing this but got no opinions so I'm doing it. I've noticed several upper intakes that I have removed from several engines and they all had two things in common, the weeny shield and black oily residue inside so it's gotta be better right?
RIGHT??
Gonna have a machine shop drill/tap the bosses for screws and glue them in with some blue Loctite. Those rivets that hold them in from the factory are hard and I don't have a tap(or the patience)
Get this lower intake on and things should start moving along at a little faster pace.

I wasn't gonna show the booger job my machine shop did but I'm committed to show'n y'all the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY, lots of UGLY !
I love my local machine shops, there are two I deal with. One old school, one more modern, I went to the modern, big shop, told him what I needed done, well he said "how bout just tack weld the baffle to the steel pins?"
20 bucks and 20 minutes later I'm on my way home.
Now I can glue some of this engine back together

I'll get the info and text you, super secret so top level clearance needed but I think I can trust you.
It's all the other shady characters around here

OK.. The reason I ask is when I was looking for machine shops it seemed like there were not very many around locally.... TYI'll get the info and text you, super secret so top level clearance needed but I think I can trust you.

The big one is kinda hidden at the end of a dirt road, kinda scary but that's the only time they are open........oops, prolly should not have said that 
You should of made your own shield and covered the whole bottom, it keeps the whole intake cooler.

The bow tie crowd can buy valley shields to use , I haven't seen ones for us blue ovalers.
Yes, General bring it over as I can use my new welder for the 2nd time ( I have ever welded) on it practicin.....
