GT40 Tubular intake vehicles????

68converted · Feb 11, 2008

Can anyone tell me what vehicles came with the GT40 tubular intakes? I could have sworn I saw a full sized 150 van at the pick and pull that had one, and I just did not even think it would be the same one. Anyone?

I don't believe any did?

at least one:
1994 Ford Lightning
Conceptualized and developed by Ford truck engineers as the ultimate sport truck, the earliest versions of Lightning were designed to compete against the Chevy 454SS and most sports cars of its day. The driving enjoyment offered is comparable to the performance of the Mustang or Camaro with all the utility of an F150. In its attempt to provide a much more high energy setup than there is in a truck, the engine includes a GT40 tubular intake system and iron GT40 heads, as well as a custom grind on the camshaft, hypereutectic pistons, 65mm throttle body and more.

The lightning did come with one, but keep in mind it's for a 351 not a 302, you can use the upper, but you still need the lower.

Well that's not cool I think I will just wait and see if anyone buys the RPM2 then make a decision.

The explorer lower is the same as the GT40 lower except that the port for the ACT isn't driller and tapped and the port for the EGR coolant return hose isn't drilled and tapped. So performance wise if you had a tubular upper and an explorer lower it would be the same. I ran that set up on my 93 for quite a while.

I just read this thread: http://www.badassmustangs.com/forums/index.php/topic,6876.0.html

Now that I think about it, I think it was a '94 truck I saw that upper on. I know there about 5 '96-'97 exploders out there... So I could grab the upper and the explorer lower and that would work?

sound like a plan to me...maby you seen a lightning at the scrap yard and didn't even realize it

Well the truck was there... but someone already grabbed the intake. The explorers were all picked over too. What gives?

I guess it will be the Cobra intake after all. I may have someone from the Corral interested in the RPM2. So I may have a resolution soon.

The rpm II has a much greater dollar value than a cobra.
Just put yours on ebay, and buy whatever you want with the money.

People pick over the explorers and lightnings because they have alot of good budget performance parts on them.

The 351 GT-40 goes for more money than the 302 version. If you ever come across a lightning in a yard (doubt it though) take the upper and lower. Together then go for $600-800 on ebay.

At least you could sell the lower off and use an exploder lower
