Few Explorer engine questions....


Whats up with the oil filter bracket that a hoses connects to it from the water pump? Im assuming I remove it and go with out it....

How much power difference is there from the explorer intake than the Edelbrock one(would love to use the explorer intake for the sleeper look)??


How much can I get for the Explorer intake with the tb and all the sensors hooked up to it including the fuel rail and injectors??

The bracket you are refering is for the oil cooler and the lines go to the water pump you can take them off with no issues

The explorer intake is the almost the same as the gt40 intake just bulkier.If you have a better intake already use it .

Shouldn't be for the 94-95 engines. There might be for a fox - not sure if we share the same timing cover with the fox bodies.

Yes 94-95 Timing covers are the same as the explorer ones...The explorer one has a few random bolt holes but they dont effect anything...I run one on my car
