i blew the motor in my 97 gt and i found a fresh motor with npi heads w/ some work done to them and the compression raised to 10.1 the guy said he also has a explorer pi intake manifold. will that work on my 97. he said "the coolant path will need to be modified if used in a non-explorer/mountaineer setup (rear pass head exit to heatercore on a tbird/stang is blocked in the exploder setup)" what will i have to do for it to work or is it even worth the trouble?

also will the stock clutch be enough

does anyone have a ingnition wiring diagram, i want power on a switch and push button start

just buy a Mustang PI intake. it's only like $200. the Explorer intake is designed for low end torque and not be as efficient at upper RPMs.
