Well, my 96's manifold finally cracked. It cracked in a weird place though, right on the thermostat housing. Has anybody else's cracked their? PI swap, here I come.

That's not what I meant. I meant did it crack in that particular area. I'm sorry about the tech/talk thing, I thought it is a talk topic since it's common knowledge they break.

Just when I was getting my headswap done one of the guys that i know quite well at a Ford dealership in town called me to see if I wanted to sell my intake. Here a guy with a blue 98GT that I almost bought about a year earlier cracked his intake manifold at the thermo housing. They couldn't find one anywhere for this guy so I made myself a quick $100. Seems that it is quite common with the older intakes. Plastic crap and all.

Mine cracked in the thermostat housing too. I picked up a PI replacement at the local dealer for 264$ plus new gaskets, 40 minutes later...good as new. The new manifolds are made of metal in the front, the same places where ours crack. Ford figured out they had a bad design but because it doesnt affect safety, they arent forced to put out a recal, screws us but saves them. good luck
