stock intake manifold to cobra, need help.

92point · 09-07-2006

Hey guyz, I am thinking about purchasing a cobra upper and lower intake manifold for my 92 5.0 lx. I found a guy selling one for around 260 bucks. To me that sounds like a good deal the only thing is i would have to buy all the seals. I was wondering how to go about installing it. I never really did any major work on my mustang so im a little nervous about doing this. Or do you guyz recommend just taking it to a pro. K thnx. feedback welcomed!!! -Clement-

I did the same swap on my 88. not hard at all. the only thing you have to really remember is that your old set up had a EGR spacer with cooling lines going to it. You'll have to cap it off at the coolant hard line. And I believe that your old setup also had a vaccuum line coming up from the cannister on the frame rail to under the old intake.. on the Cobra there is no where to locate in under but there is a spigot right next to where the throttle body is.. Piece of cake...

I noticed a little more torque.. it really woke up with the E303 cam I just put in.. she pulls hard all the way to 5500 rpm no problem...
I have to make a trip to the dyno and then I'll post some torque and horespower numbers..
