I just ran up on a explorer intake I haven't seen before. This one was on a 6/95 dated explorer and has no throttle cable bracket on it from the factory. Has anyone else seen one of these or have I found something unique? Also got the 3bar gt40 heads off it
Explorer 5.0 intake

do you mean there is no place to mount it?

are these the heads i should be looking for also, the 3 bar? 94' 5.0
U know the small bracket on the drivers side of the upper intake that holds the throttle cable that most people cut or grind off when they put em on a mustang? That one. Never had it. The cables simply came out of the firewall, looped around the front of the intake where there was one of those little plastic push in clips on the coil bracket, and on around to the throttle body. And to 94boosted, I'm not too sure. If ur wanting iron heads i would say these would be the ones to look for on a street application. U could always go for the 4bar gt40p heads but theres the issue with the plug angle and the headers not wanting to clear. The only other real differences between the 2 other than that is the p's have a slightly smaller chamder, like 10 cc's, and a smaller exhaust valve. The headers not clearing was the deal breaker for me. These are supposed to be the best flowing sbf heads ford ever made. I've even been told once ported and polished they would flow better than some aftermarket aluminium heads. Plus at 50 bucks per head and 150 to rebuild the pair I cant complain one bit

the bracket is removable on my cobra intake but its been so long since I saw a GT intake that I can't remember if the bracket was attached to those. Didn't think they were. They can be a PIA to find now and why someone might have rigged this up the way you describe.

I am only familiar with the 94 gt and cobra intake but both of those use a bracket that screws onto the side that the cables hook up too. I know after briefly loosing mine they can be a bit of PIA to find....
