manifold questions

[Makdaddymac]

when i got to rebuild my 5.0 i would like to get a cobra or equivelant upper and lower manifold.. and was wondering what else i need can i run stock injectors tb and mas or do i need to upgrade all of them.

no need to upgrade your injectors just to suit the intake. the 19's will do fine. matter of fact, so long as your other components will bolt up there is no reason to change them unless you want to upgrade the performance. also, the cobra intake is "rated" at 350 horses but there are guys on here that are getting much more than that out of their 302's with the cobra intake. you can get a very nice - and brand new - ford motorsports cobra upper & lower intake for around $340 delivered off of ebay.

Explorers can be found for ~$160 on ebay too. Just be sure to get a 96 Explorer intake if you need to keep EGR emissions for a Fox. For an SN car, you can use any Explorer intake.

TMoss-
I am curious what the difference is?
Does the 96 Explorer route the EGR through the intake, same as a stock Fox 5.0?

thanks

Yes, that is the difference........

ok well will there be bolting up issues with stock tb,etc to the new manifold(s)??

 

[tmoss]

they assemble the same with the EGR and TB - you might want to buy a 65mm EGR spacer aned a 65mm TB.

i was planning on that,but do i have to buy a egr spacer? with a 65mm to connect ot the stock air intake

Only if your going to retain the EGR system........
