Well my uncle has hinted that the black trick flow street heat intake I've been wanting might be on its way for a graduation present.

I've searched plenty of threads and I've found several how-to's, but none that specifically listed all the tools necessary. I seem to remember something along the lines of this question earlier but I'm gonna ask it again as I can't dig up the thread. Anyway, I''m pretty sure its going to require more then a ratchet set. If someone could please list all the tools / sealants / gaskets / etc required for this install that would be AWESOME.

I've done everything that is in my sig minus the gears and the subframe connectors, but this is the first time I've ever actually gone into the engine. I just want to make sure that I have the right stuff in front of me before I start.

thanks fellas,

Adam

torque wrench is a biggie, gasket scraper, teflon tape or paste,the trick flow nuts/bolts are 12pt, sucks if your sockets are 6pt. A 12 pt box end wrench will be handy also. Get a felpro ms93334, it's a gasket set for ford upper lower, autozone or advanced has em. don't remember the exact sizes, but I had to go to lowes and get some plugs, adapters, studs and such. may want to pick up some new vacuum line and t-fittings, hose clapms, all that stuff is cheap, having it around may save some frustration/and a panic trip to the parts store. you'll need to order the elbow adapter also, unless you got a Fox set-up. good luck man, "holla" if you need some help

You need a 5/16 12pt socket to tighten the middle bolts on the upper intake manifold & 5/16 combination wrench (w/ 12pt on one end) for the front/back nuts on the upper, distributor wrench to yank the dizzy, masking tape & a sharpe to mark hoses/wires/connectors, fuel line disconnect tool. Also, get 4 long 5/16-18 studs so that you can guide the lower intake on without messing up the gasket. You will remove the studs one by one as you install bolts to replace them.

Read and use the haynes manual for this.

When you are all done, you need to make sure the dizzy is stabbed in the same spot as it came out. This will ensure proper ignition timing once you are done. Get a timing light and check it anyway when you are done.

Just finished the install of this same intake. You do not need the fuel line disconnect tool, as you can just move the injectors and such to the side. Word of advice: When you put the lower on, put studs in the heads so you line the lower up right the first time. This eliminates the guesswork so you don't accidently scoot the gaskets around. Oh, and good luck getting on the lower left bolt from your elbow to the intake
