it's a piece of cake to install. remove the top 2 throttle body bolts, nothing will fall out. Install the 2 new studs in their place. Slide the front 2 holes of the cover over the new studs. There are 2 other holes (one on each side) on the cover; slide these over the fuel rail mounting studs. Then install the 2 nuts on the throttle body studs. Done. It takes about 45 seconds to install it.

This shows how "old school" I am. I strongly prefer the look WITHOUT an engine cover.

Man, "old school" is no engine cover and a four barrel, not a plastic intake. LOL.

fordparts.com bad customer service

Make sure you get a tracking number from them. They said they will send you a tracking number which they never did. I had to call 2 weeks after ordering to find out what happened to my cover as I never received it. I was told, by Ken, that he sent me email saying my ccard # was incorrect. I never received the email. So keep on their behinds until you get a tracking number.
