98 SN95 4.6L intake manifold problems

[snakebyte130]

I recently cracked the stock intake manifold and had a friend with a 2001 Crown Vic intake manifold that is actually metal instead of the plenum. Would this fit my Mustang? And if not does anyone know where I can get another stock one?

Thx

Not sure if its the same but any parts store will have one for ya

yeah parts stores sell the aluminum one now. Looks like a 97-00 Crown vic one would work.. not sure about a 2001

I feel your pain, I went through two in two years. One cracked and the other started leaking between the plastic and the aluminum crossover. Needless to say I don't have a plastic intake anymore.

might as well get a Pi intake manafold while your at it from the 99+ stangs to gain some HP while your at it you should be able to find a used one for under $100 easy. Just got to relocate one of the temp sensors to the block.

I think that involves swapping the heads too, doesn't it?

No. You can use either PI or NPI gaskets and RTV to seal everything up. I forget which one is which but with one of them you put RTV around the coolant passages and the other it is around the runner.
