Is the plaque on top of the Explorer intake the same as the cobra and stock? I would love to change it to a polished one and powder coat my upper black.

I am pretty sure that they are the same size. I like the Explorer plate much bettter than the stock or the Cobra's.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

they are the same size, but they are not the same.

does that make sense?

Its the same size and is interchangeable with the stock HO plate, but it only has 2 holes for the hold-down screws, not 4. I have my original '86 plate on my Exploder intake.

The Cobra had a completely different-shaped plaque on top.

I used a polished '86 plate on mine and eventually made my own from a piece of scrap aluminum.

It can be a nice looking plaque - and they are inerchangable with the HO unit.

I've got 5 or 6 plaques around here.My plan is to polish them and sell them on Ebay.Even the standard T-Bird/Crown Vic "5.0 EFI" plaques look great when they're polished.
