When Did '93 Cobra Intakes Get This Expensive?

[Mustang5L5]

My tubular intake is worth that much? I have the lightning version. Still worth that?

Upper and lower? It's probably more. The aluminum gt40 351 lower sells for around ~$500 just by itself. Upper and lower in decent shape might be $800-900

There is a cast iron version uses on the 351 marine engines. Once in a while a seller tosses that in eBay as a lightning lower. There's also a marine tubular and cast upper

I agree 100%. I actually think the explorer intake looks great. Toss a refinished 5.0 HO plate on top and it's an OEM looking manifold with some good potential.

port the lower, 75mm TB and it's an intake that could power a lot of healthy street cruiser combos....and cheap.

I still like my 93 Cobra intake though and won't trade it out

For that kind of money you could have an Explorer Intake with the works from Tmoss, including a recoate so it looks new.

Exactly. grrat bang for the buck

 

[revhead347]

Just wanted to add that Tmoss is the man.

.......I just really like the way the Cobra intake looks and the fact it doesn't require a EGR spacer.

First place I've always found coolant leakage was that rubber hose connection at the EGR spacer! imp

I remember back in the 90s when bypassing the hoses was considered a performance "mod"

I remember the 70's and flipping the air cleaner lid as a mod!
Oh, don't tell @a91what that the factory used to put carburetors on cars, it could traumatized him.

I've been assured by the experts on Facebook that a carb is the secret to getting power out of a 5.0.

Facepage= accurate and truthful info

 

[Mustang5L5]

Oh and if your car is running like crap, first thing to check us TPS voltage

 

[a91what]

Carburators were a real thing!

 

[General karthief]

Apparently so are pagers

Carbs work best with a 3/4 cam.

 

[a91what]

 

[Mstng93SSP]

Ummmm....nothing in my opinion looks better on a fox

 

[revhead347]

I remember when everyone was trading in their GT40 intake for a Cobra, because you could get the Cobra extrude honed. That's back when it didn't cost a mortgage payment to get something extrude honed though.

[FastDriver]

Yep. That's another reason Cobras are the best!

 

[Mustang5L5]

I keep thinking about EH'ing mine

 

[FastDriver]

I'd have done it with my first combo, but Ed Curtis talked me out of it.
