If it is a 5.0L then yes it is a GT-40 style intake. Not sure if '96 had them though.

The heads and intake are gt40 (and IIRC 96 was just gt40...no P stuff yet).

Buy them both and the heads off the exploder as well.

Ebay the cobra (more money) intake as all the gt40 intakes flow close to one another.

Either sell the heads off the exploder or put them on the car with the intake you keep.

You can clean up the exploder intake with some elbow grease....mine looks great.
