well somebody local is selling one for 100 Bucks !


so I decided what the hell.. the Heads are in the shop ... my typhoon intake is ported and would be way over kill... and I dont feel like going through there and swapping a cam.


so I got the intake and there is a film of black grease oil stuff... what should I do to remove this? I went through it checked it all out it looks okay...



what gasket part numbers should I get and I wouldnt mind touching up the lower a bit to a larger gasket...


I also need most bolts for the intake and gaskets to install the 65mm TB. can I buy all this at a local speedshop?



and last but not Least ... with the explorer intake (gasket matched) maybe a slight bit of porting and a 65mm TB net about 20rwhp?


I want more power.. above 5k as well too..


Thanks !

Get the gasket kit for a Cobra. YOu can buy the intake bolts from Ford or find four of the long bolts from a stock intake - they will work too.
