I apologize, I searched and read through many of the PI Intake threads but couldn't find anything related to my issue.
I purchased the following Intake Manifold off of Ebay...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...0174001566&category0=&fvi=1&item=270174001566
I just received it today and I have a couple questions.
#1 - The only part number I can find on it is 615-175. This doesn't seem to be a Ford part number but maybe it is. I'm hoping it's not some knock-off or something but it has me wondering mainly because of the following.
#2 - The aluminum crossover has 2 ports for the sensors but the "kit" includes a plug if you don't need the second port. I thought I would have to tap a second hole, not that I'm complaining I won't but I didn't see any reference to a PI Intake having the second port already drilled.
and
#3 - The paperwork it came with claims that it does not require additional intake gaskets. It has "molded" gaskets in the bottom, they look like o-rings. Again, I haven't read of this before and I'm wondering how it will work with the RTV method of using NPI gaskets vs PI gaskets and the whole sealing the air vs coolant debate.
Currently my 98 Mustang GT I just bought apparently has the updated NPI intake on it as it has an aluminum crossover on it. I think I can use my same altenator bracket... hopefully. And hopefully I'll be installing this the same time as my PI cams, as well as my used Vortech V2 S trim I just bought.
Thanks,
Trent
