i went to install the lower typhoon intake, and i noticed that on the driver side where the lower meets the head, right in the center in between where the 2 bolts go there is no coolant passage like on the head or pass side has it.
is this going to cause a cooling issue? i didn't have my stock cobra lower around to compare, but i could of swore that it had the collant in the center on both sides of the intake.

noticed that on the outside on driver side just above injectors there's a threaded hole that isn't on my cobra lower. i had a picture of cobra lower compare but not one of the bottom to compare the coolant passage. just wondering what it's for? it seems that its a hole that goes into a coolant passage, and that i'll have to buy a plug for it.

anyone with this intake have any problems with lining up the fuel rails with the mounting holes on the lower? its my first intake install, and i'm not sure if i have to put that much pressure to line up the holes.

Thanks
joe

Are you talking about the hole in the center of the head, because that's not a cooling passage, that's an exhaust passage for an EGR. The intakes are not year specific, and the foxbodies had the exhaust for the EGR run back up through a passage in the intake. Some of the intakes run an external tube for the 93' an older cars for the EGR. You can just block all that stuff off for our cars, because the EGR runs off an external tube off the header direct to the EGR.

yeah the hole that has 2 bolts on either side dead center on the head.

hmm my dumb ass thought it was a coolant passage. so i guess i don't have to worry about a coolant issue. of course i wanted to take a picture but my camera's batteries were dead last night.
and the egr isn't go back on the car.

now i have to figure out what thread that port is on the out side, so i can find a plug for it.
