Find exactly what you're look for and it's already been removed and laying there for you A big thank you to the guy that did that for me!
On my lunch break I went to scout some Explorer parts for my engine (lower intake and GT40 heads). According to some VIN #s I looked up they had 3 Explorer 5.0's there so I wanted to see what was left of them before getting all dressed up and dragging my tools out. So the second Explorer I looked at today, an early 97', had the lower intake just sitting there being held on by only the coolant hoses. Grabbed my gloves out of my truck and a pocket knife and it was mine for a low low $16. I think somebody was after the heads and gave up after shearing a couple intake bolts off in the heads. This is a 3 bar gt40 setup which is what I am after. I'm not sure these heads are worthy of my spending the time to remove them.
