For the kick ass intake manifold they put on the 96-98 GTs and crown vics, it seems the front coolant cross over is very prone to blowing the fuck out. Guess what... mine went at the drag strip in the vic, I just let off the gas after a pass and POOOF! it was over. Now 500 bucks and a day later I've got the none shitty intake, some MSD coils, MSD wires and TR55's. I can say a 4.6 is easy as hell to wrench on
Rant off
Damn fords :lol: :lol:
if its the same engine as the gt why does the tack only go to 5 in the clear? 5200 redline on tack.:thinkin:Quote:

so what did she end up running??
16.1 @ 85mph with the busted intake, it split into cyl#1 so I know I lost alot O powa. It was cracked for a couple runs, then it just blew. I was cutting 2.1 60's that night. I'm going back after my shift kit
its ok to laugh, its my DD lol
I did mine last month. What a pain.
:dunno:
Is this the same motor that the 97 Townys had? My dads went out befor he traded it in, and just recently ford reimbursed him for it due to a recall.
I missed the recall I think, I don't really want to go fuck with the stealership. But my next off day I'll give it a shot
I missed the recall by about a year. They went back 7 years. My Stang only has 60K. Look at the antifreeze residue under the alternator. You don't have to go to the dealer.
Here is a good thread regarding the recall...
