Ok please don't yell at me but I need to be schooled on what I need to do for this intake setup, I can take more pics asap if needed from different angles etc. I want to put this setup on, but need to know if I need anything else besides gaskets(if you could tell me which ones that would be great)? I know there is something with the emmisions but I do not know what. I know it came off a V8 explorer and is called the GT40(same as on the 93 cobra) setup.What type of power do I pick up with this setup? Noticable?

Can I use my throttle body?
Same take pipe?
MAF?

Thanks Guys, I would look to do this soon, within the next couple weeks

All that you have will work. Go to Advance Auto and order the gaskets for the 5.0 Explorer. Maybe 10hp, the intake will be more efficent with a cam and heads though. Everything else should bolt up the same way it came off, the old intake.
 
ait sensor

the air intake sensor should be hooked up. your intake is after 97 i believe since it dont have the threads. but all you have to do is tap the thread for it. i have mine just laying on the intake and it runs great but ive been told to hook it up.
