Ok, i have been surfing the net now for a couple days and i found most of the stuff i am going to use on my project this winter. One thing i am having a hard time finding is a good aftermarket intake for the 1996 4.6l SOHC. Ok, so there is the bullit one, but how good is it and does it bolt onto npi heads? Is there any other choices?? Am i just looking in the wrong places and there is a ton of them somewhere. Any suggestions on intake manifolds guys? thanx :SNSign:
Any aftermarket intakes?

Its actually what the bullitt was copied from.
You can find it cheaper...actually one for sale on corral for $600

Unfortunetly there aren't as many aftermarket intake manifolds for 4.6s out there as there are for the 5.0. If you want to stick with non-PI you might try looking for the SVO intake manifold for non-PI heads. It's a lot like the Bullitt manifold (or maybe I should say the bullitt is a lot like it). I believe Sean Hyland Motorsports and Livernois have them for sale. If I remember correctly it'll run you about $1600 give or take.
On the other hand PI heads are about $400 each with about $200 for the manifold and $300 for an upper and TB. Which would put you more in the $1000 ballpark. A little cheaper, and I think (dont quote me) you'll still come out on top as far as BHP goes. Plus you could use the extra $600 on other mods which might get you a couple more extra ponies.
Hope I was helpful.
Edit: Ok guess I missed that last reply SHM and Livernois has the manifold for $1400-1600. The price might include an install kit...I dont know.

Anyways I suggest going with a PI Intake swap 96SC.
Im with d98gt, just get a PI intake ($200.00) and be done with it. It makes the same hp as the aftermarket intakes ($500.00 +).
yo guys thanks for the info...i dont wanna go pi heads bc i am supercharged and this winter i am beefing up bottom end and doing a 14-16lb boost so i dont wanna up my compression with pi heads. i am just going to port and polish mine and put a different cam in...not sure which cam yet. but i will check out the intakes that were mentioned. if there is any other ones you guys find plz let me know...thanx

We are talking about the PI intake, not the heads. You won't have a compression jump with the PI inake and/or cams.
