I was just reading the 5.0 mustang mag from feb and there was this one letter from a mustang mechanic that got me alittle confused. He was complaining that Edelbrock made an aluminum intake for a honda but hasn't made one for a mustang. Then he proceeded to complain that there is a shortage of intake manifolds for the mods. Is this really true? I will be selling my bmw e36 to pay for *hopefully* and new or used mustang with the 4.6 mod. and I have always thought that the mustang had THE LARGEST aftermarket support than any other car in history...am I wrong? i then looked for ads in both MM$FF and 5.0...and couldn't find a single intake plenum for the 4.6 . Is there another aftermarket part that isn't readily available to the 4.6 crowd. I'd figure this can help me determine if i should really sell my e36.

There is only 1 aftermarket intake manifold for the 4.6 that isn't attached to a blower. I guess we have to wait until the 4.6 has been around for 30 years before Edelbrock or any of the other manufacturers can be bothered to make something for us...

yeah

yeah one aftermarket and the bullit intake.. but the bullit is a lot of trouble.. but the mustang does have a lot of mods.. you can do all the normal bolt ons with gears get a cam and heads done and you running 12's..

there is more than 1 intake manifold on the market.

there are..

the Bullit intake
Fox Lake intake
Reichard Racing intake version 2
the BBK intake is on it's way

if you want just the upper intake (plenum only)
C&L
Dragon
TrickFlow
Accufab

so there are plenty of options. the only problem is that all of the complete manifolds are in the $1000+ range except the upcoming BBK.

ahh very cool. by the time i get knee deep in modding my mustang, hopfully the bbk one will be out. Now i just have to decide if i really do want to sell my M3. It's an older one that i got in junior year, I think i might be able to keep it as long as i don't go too crazy with the modds. I also have to deal with the fact that i got into my top choice school, which means i'd have to be driving up to ny and then back to nj...quite possibly in the worst weather possible.
