coramprat said:The "silent recall" is for 7 years after the build date. You can call Ford to see if they will fix it but I doubt it. I just replaced mine with a PI intake w/ aluminum crossover also. Using adapter plates, it is a better piece than the replacement 96-98 intake performance wise. Some have used RTV to seal the new intake to the old heads with no problems. Do a search for "pi intake swap" and you will find tons of info.
So true...dude, WTF?!?!01SN8K said:Kronos not everyone can just spend 1300+ bucks on an intake manifold.
I recieved zero from Ford on this. Just learned thru word of mouth. They all crack after a while and it's inevitable because of poor design but they wouldn't replace it UNTIL it cracked.droptopponynj said:why do you say it was a silent recall? i was contacted about 5 yrs ago regarding my 96 and took it in for inspection.
how did the adapter plates work out for you? did you take any pics?
Ha...you beat me to it...mr. jones1 said:check out my site www.unitedmajority.com
it has instructions and pic for a manifold swap.
be careful with some of those replacement manifolds.
some are trash. replace it with a Ford manifold with the alum. crossover.
PI manifold will give you an performance improvement.
search e-bay I have seen a real Ford manifold for $160 new.
or www.mustangtuning.com they have them for $192.
If you use a PI manifold you must use PI gaskets and some RTV
or my plates for better port blending and no RTV
