is there any way to identify PI Heads and Intake from the non PI's...i was told the motor in my 98 is stock but i have been around motors enough to know that the motor in my car is not stock to an extent and just wondering if it might be a PI setup.

The easiest way to tell a PI intake is, the front intake runner goes to the driver side. On a non PI the front runner goes to the passenger side.

by runner you mean the black tube looking parts of the intake i guess you could say leads down to the port of the head?

 

[BT1288]

That's correct. Which one do you have?

 

[Musclehorse]

it is PI..which means PI heads too correct because PI intake wont fir stock head? i was curious because the car i just bought has alot of power to be a stock 98 with 4:10 rear end. havent ran quarter mile yet because we dont have many arounc NC but i do have a local 1/8 mile track i ran it at and pulled a 8.442 at 89mph on street tires spinnin through 3rd

no, not really as adding a PI intake to Non-PI heads is a pretty common thing.....if the engine was changed, there be a white sticker on the right cam cover that will aid in ID'ing the engine

If you put the p i manifold on non p i heads you would need adapter plates, a different coolant tube, a modified manifold to fit under the stock hood and hardware. Check out this kit @ New - Livernois Motorsports - 1996-1998 4.6L PI Intake Adapter Kit

not true, alot of people just use the PI intake, PI intake gaskets and a little RTV wth the Non-Pi heads and it works fine......

I'm aware some people do that. Just not the best way.
