Just a thought....
Why do you plan on a different upper intake? The Explorer lower is the same as the GT40 lower with the exception of a act sensor hole being there in one and you have to drill it in the Explorer. And as a set the Explorer flows almost the same as the GT40 set. Its a waste of money in my opinion...thats just me though.

you have to drill for the act and the return line for the coolant on the egr,if your using the egr.to do the swap im sure your gonna need the wire harness from a donor v8 car and all the other related fuel stuff. good luck phil

Yes, you will need to drill. The bung is there it just isn't drilled because the Explorer's ACT is mounted in the air intake tube not the intake. It is right in the front on the driver's side, can't miss it.
