HELLO, I JUST PURCHASED A 96 GT CONV. ON FRIDAY. CAR NEEDS A LITTLE TLC 86K. YESTERDAY I PULLED THE CRACKED INTAKE MANIFOLD OFF. I SAW A COUPLE OF NEW REPLACEMENT MANIFOLDS ON EBAY FOR $185 HAS ANY ONE USED THESE? ANY INFO WOULD BE GREAT. ALSO ANY TUNE UP/PREVENTIVE MAINTAINCE NEEDED OTHER THAN THE OBVIOUS. THANKS ... GREAT SITE

First order of business is to have your caps lock button permanently removed from your keyboard (after shutting it off that is).

Second, a good place to look for replacment manifolds would be karkraft.com (where I got mine) or americanmuscle.com using the americanmuscle or stangnet discount codes.

Lastly, while doing the swap you should replace the oil, oil filter, plugs, coolant, and any other misc. parts.

I would not bother with a spacer

while your in there you should think about getting PI heads/cams from a 99 up gt. it should only you 400 more. it will be a huge improvement.

Screw the heads, just get the cams...
