Let me see your intake plaque

84convertablegt · Jan 20, 2006

Im converting to a Explorer intake on my 95 GTS and therefore will be needing a 86-93 style intake plaque. Im looking for ideas, I dont care for the explorer intake cover plate, but do kinda like the standard 5.0 HO factory one. Im looking for ideas on what to use. does anyone know of any good places to find an assortment of plaques?

I don't know where you can get the original new, but Mustang's Unlimited has some aftermarket ones.

looking for anything besides the flaming pony, mustang 50 ho and fake cobra 50 ho ones that everyone has. ive seen all of these and am not real impressed, im looking for something a little more custom.

I have a sweet mirror Stainless steel polished intake plaque with the chrome pony that I can sell for $50. Let me know, I have pics. I can't use it anymore because I bought a coba intakepete.georgievski@vw.com

I want a plaque.

Yea the stock 5.0 one can look pretty sweet with some time. I just painted mine with some med gloss black and polished the high spots, turned out real nice too, and with minimal effort. Also painted the upper and valve covers a med gloss black as well.

Looks sweet 88-GT. I saw this pic of a explorer intake done simuliar and I want to do mine the same. What paint did you use and how has it held up to the engine heat?

88-GT · Jan 21, 2006

Well it is in my back yard for winter storage at the moment so I can not atest to how it will hold up but I have no worries that it won't. I used VHT's engine block paint and just spent a good amount of time prepping it. Yea I was really impressed with the way it turned out, but now all I have done is make more work for myslef cause now everything else looks bad next to it. Oh well I guess it's an addiction I can be proud of.:SNSign:

That looks good 88GT

If the plate wasn't clear coated after you finished then you will have to reploish it.

I have had to do mine a couple of times.
