I fear I may have been taken, I bought an Explorer intake off a guy, and the upper is for sure an Explorer intake, but I'm not too sure about the lower. It is ported, but the appearance is just like my stock intake, is there an easy way to tell if it is an explorer intake?

My second question is, when installing a cam, with stock valvetrain, do you just torque down the rockers? I've done other fords 400 351M but i'm making sure this is done right, Thanks in advance for your help.

the lower intake should be the same as a cobra manifold, with 8 offset round runners on top.....
