Hey everyone, after reading the thread started by badasslx on the explorer intake that made me want to go and look for one. Well, I went to my local junkyard today and found a 97 mountaineer (great condition) and the guy at the yard said I could take the upper and lower intake for $150, I was very excited. My question is this. I have an SN95 (1994 GT) so I know I need the elbow intake adapter and will need to get rid of the strut tower brace, but will the explore intake fit under my stock hood because I know it is taller? Please say yes.

put play dough or clay on a few spots on your upper intake and let the hood down just under its own weight and see if the clay compresses.

That's a good idea, it'd be close with the stock hood.

hey also on this explorer intake swap...is this a direct bolt on? i mean do the stock egr and throttlebody(94) bolt right up? coolant lines? all that jazz, ya know.

Interesting question, what kind of gains can you see from this. it seems like a simple swap.
