Quick Question

[Azarello]

Is a head swap for a 1996 gt from a 2004 gt also known as a entire intake swap? I'm thinking of buying it for 300 from a 2004 gt with 6000 miles on it. Is this a good price and if so, what should all come with the swap? Excuse me, I'm such a novice and I'm little confuse with a head swap and a enitire intake.

By intake swap, they probably mean just the PI intake manifold, not the heads. However, if it was the heads and intake, $300 would be a great deal and you should follow up on it. If its just the intake manifold, you can get a brand new one for $190. The best thing would be to ask the guy what all you get, but it sounds like it might just be the intake manifold.

If that price includes heads/cams and intake, jump on it because it's a steal.

here what he's selling, if it is just the manifold how much more hp would I get oppose to just the cold air intake?

I think PI intake on Non-PI cars can get ~20hp

Ah, what he meant by entire assembly was it comes with the throttle body, injectors, etc. You would still need adapter plates for the pi intake to fit with non-pi heads. Or you could do the RTV method ...still need some additional parts too. You could probably just buy a new PI manifold though for $190 and use your other parts that you already have if that is what you want to do. But yes, when its all done you will pick up around 20 horses with just the pi-intake. Well worth it in my opinion. Afterall, the non-pi intake is what really kills the car - can't breathe once you get above 4k rpms, and the pi-intake helps out significantly there.
