Here is the new 5.4l 2v swap intake option. At $350 for the intake, it hurts to do surgery of any kind, but its really the only option for under the stock hood fitment.

Im in the process of welding now. I have it bolted down to a dummy engine and will remain bolted untill as much welding as I can get on it. My weld looks like poop, but I can always grind it off
Who cares if the weld will look bad! Itll serve the purpose you are building it for!

Knowing I could get some of the cash back before cutting it did go through my mind. I shrugged my shoulders and thought "oh well", push on. I need the free flowing intake and for it to fit under the hood. This intake is perfect!
My initial thought was send it to my welder buddy, cause I stink welding aluminum. I couldn't surrender to the idea knowing I have all the capability (but experience/finesse) and equipment. My brain says "you can do this" and I listen.

Are you going to fab your own elbow or just make an adaptor plate to go on top?

I figured an adapter will suffice. Front facing would be sweet! Ill definitely poke at trying it. If I can get it to fit under the stock hood, I may do that.

Relocation kit for MMR puts it where the account compressor is.

In order to use the stock fuel rails, ill need to cut off these towers made for aftermarket rail hold downs. Ill then use a run of 1x3/4 aluminium I have laying around as the new hold down for the old rails. No since in buying 1000hp capable fuel rails. Cheap is my game!

Did a little more prep work and measuring. Nothing to snap pics at

Nice work so far on the intake manifold, you've got some great determination man! I can't wait to see this all put together

Thank you sir! I want my car running stronger and this is about the only solution for a 2v intake now.
