Dude, sorry to hear about the misshap. You gotta lay off those perogies they give you 'burghers super human strenght. Alright Im wicked lame but I went to college at Washington and Jefferson College in Washington Pa so jokes like that crack me up. I miss all the "yens" and other terms you guys use (gumbands=rubberbands sweeper=vacuum "my car needs cleaned" ect...
So whats your plan? Could you put some PB crap in your crack or even have it welded or are you going to get a whole new intake?
Good luck with everything man, let us know how things turn out

Swarzkopf - I'm really not liking our current trend of thread posting.
Here is a quote from a thread on my site about "Getting ready for our club Power Tour" this past w/e.
http://100mphclub.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=38755
"For those that didn't make the Tour..... I was VERY, VERY fortunate to make it in the stang.
I worked hard on the car after work Friday night, had everything ready to go, even charged up the A/C. Took a test drive the car still ran a little warm for my liking even after the new radiator, t-stat, new coolant, new tranny cooler, etc.
I decided to change the sensors. First sensor, did nothing for the car. The second (guage sensor), oh it did something alright..... I still had a quarter of the threads left, and it wasn't all that tight when putting it in. Took another turn of the rachet and heard a CRACK.... Yup, cracked the lower intake around 8:30 Friday night before the Power Tour.
Did a lot of CUSSING and a lot of PHONE CALLING. LoneSailor to the rescue! He and LSgirl came over around 11pm or so. He happened to have an extra used lower intake, he sold me for $100.
We tore it all down, put another GT-40 lower on the car (had to use the previous gaskets too!) and had the car running in aprox. 2.5 hours.
By the time I was confident the car was good to go and we headed for bed it was 3am. We had to get up at 6am to get ready to head to Joplin for the start of the Power Tour.
So a big THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! To LS and LSgirl for saving our w/e. Photogirl and I appreciate it!!!!!!
BTW - I would like to dedicate my burnout to LS.... thanks for videotaping it for us."

HOLY ****! LOL!!
That's ****ing nuts dude.
Glad yours is all buttoned up and ready to go...still gotta figure out what I'm gonna do with mine.
Either gonna try to put an Eddy or TFS on it or put the stocker back on...figure if I'm going to rip off the lower and spend money on something new, I might as well try something different.

Figured you would get a kick out of my post. Can NOT believe of all people, this could happen to the both of us at aprox. the same time.
I now have Black upper and a non-painted lower. Looks great.
Let me know if you go with a TFS, it may help me make up my mind to go with the TFS kit with a whole new intake and just sell my current setup.
Will do man...I still got all sorts of ****z to figure out with my car though...fix the manifold, figure out why my torque converter doesn't lock until 4700 in 2nd and 3rd...
BTW, did changing the ECT/gauge sensor help your cooling situation at all?
