Im installing my PI Intake manifold because the stock one cracked and Im going to change the plugs at the same time. Im leaning towards bosch plugs but, I wanted some opinions. Do you think I should change everything or just the plugs? let me know....

...oh yea and if you could the model # would be great!

thanks guys

the motorcraft or the autilite copper plugs are what a lot of people use. according to Sean Hyland's book they use the stock motorcraft, or the denso iridium's. but autolite make the motorcraft plugs.

Hi Dan I would recommed replacing the plugs since you say
you will be under the hood replacing your cracked intake.
I wouldn't put bosch spark plugs in my lawnmower because
they suck bad! Mustangs simply don't performance we'll with
the bosch platinum X2's or X4's.Just because they are 5-6
dollars a plug doesn't mean they are good plugs.Don't feel
bad because I almost made the same mistake before when
I didn't know much about Mustang's.First of all DON'T GET
PLATINUM SPARK PLUGS because they suck as far as
performance go's.Get copper plugs they are great for
performance Dan! I would get Motorcraft AWSF-32C's or
Autolite 764's because they are the best spark plugs for
your stang!Motorcraft is the first best and Autolite is the
second best simple as that.Also I seen your same 98 Black
GT vert. in the auto trader and review-journal.Did you buy
it from the person how was selling it or was that mustang
yours to begin with? That sucks for you if you bought that
stang with a cracked intake manifold?

again, thanks for the great advice...

Your welcome anytime I can help out a fellow stanger
I know I did my job! Also I knew that had to be your 98 GT
vert. because it had the same mods as yours that's cool.I'm happy
that your a honest person and didn't sell your stang with the cracked
intake manifold that's cool of you because you would have gave stangs
a bad rap and the person would have probaly been mad at you so,that's
cool that you didn't your a good man! Also the IP intake manifold
is a fairly cheap fix if labor isn't involved.Did you buy the intake manifold
already if not you can get it for a great price at www.gefracing.com
Also some of the 96-97 Mustang GT's were covered under the intake
manifold silent recall.The recall was good for seven years after the
purchase of the stang meaning that the silent recall is over and the owners
must fix thereselfs.My 1996 Mustang GT Coupe wasn't effected by the
silent recall I guess I'm lucky that I never got a cracked intake manifold
knock on wood! The best of luck to you Dan!
