Use the search In the Fox forums on the fuel rail issues before putting the BBK EFI cross ram manifold on. It seems I remember some big leak problems, but not how they were fixed.

Don't do it. Don't use that SSI. Or if you do have a plan B for when it doesn't seal.

If you get the thing to seal, it's been an intake that's on par with a GT40 tubular from what I recall.

Too bad, since they look so cool. But a tmoss ported Explorer intake should rock on the street.

That Trickflow that I saw on page 1 is no slouch either.

I suppose stealth is not an issue when you are putting EFI in a Maverick. Trick Flow for the spin in a lighter car if you still have it would be good. Do not go with one of those box uppers if you want to cruise.

I saw something online about using Mustang floors in a Maverick .There was some modification needed. I don't think it would be that hard to do .A maverick may be a touch narrower than a Mustang ,not sure what the measurements are .

From what I've read the bbk offer 37 hp bolt on.. the 1st intake unseen was a performer by edelBrock and it offers around 30 hp bolt on... but I really like the look of the bbk.. only issue I read was fuel o ring not seating. But I've seen this one run personally so I know it is good as fare as leaks and such...

THAT was a badass looking intake. hehe

Looks wise... I think this is still my favorite:




This looks pretty sweet too though:

I think yours looks great man... any idea where i can buy a complete gasket kit and a bolt kit for mine??? would like to make sure there are NO leaks on it so i would need new gaskets upper lower, middle, and top plate. mine also looks like it has some sort of spacer in between the top and bottom intake???

The gaskets you can probably get from LRS. I don't know of a bolt kit for the SSI but hell... a completely assembled bolt kit for an OEM intake is a rare find. lol

Swap to studs if you have the room. At least for the lower plenum. Those should be the same length as any other. The uppers you may end up having to measure out.

Edit: Oh... and that pic up there isn't of mine. I just like the tubular intake.

Is there a gasket for the plate? You might have to make that one?
