yes it can be done. Takes a full day if you are not a gearhead, half if you are. Just take your time and make sure you have all the right stuff.

to my knowledge a pi intake will not work on a non-pi head... they have to match...

Do some searching. People do it all the time. There is a slight mismatch at one corner of the port, but it generally matches very well. You can easily find dyno sheets as well.

This swap is very well documented and you can find information just be searching here or your favorite internet search engine.

well being a tech at a dealer i see many vehicles with intake leaks that can cause lean codes... ford doesnt make the best intake gaskets and throwing some rtv in there prolly isnt the best idea... but more power to ya if it works....

you dont put rtv on the intake, you put it on the head, it works perfect, it will work great with those P&P NPI's

as mentioned, there are only two small places that need RTV, and its just the water coolant passages. The intake doesnt need any RTV.

Thread cleaned up (posts removed). Let's keep it to technical discussion, not a personal-level debate. Thank you.
