2. prepping for the dorman intake (just realized, haven't had her long) wetting the bed. when i change to ford intake i will need intake gaskets, water pump (might as well) and anything else?

thanks!

Midway through the production run for the 2001 model year Ford changed the design of the water pump on the 4.6L engine. The older style pump produced from 1996 to mid 2001 had a longer shaft. In January of 2001 the design of the pump was changed to a shorter shaft.

oh perfect! so just get the longer of the two? do i need to worry about clockwise or counterclockwise? lol

is there something i can visually check before taking the water pump off so i know i buy the right one? thanks!

Measure the length of the water pump, just to b sure
And why go dorman oem and not upgrade to the Intake

Ford performance and dorman are the same FYI. I know people don't believe this but dorman makes the intake ford performance just stamps their name on it. I found this out awhile ago. Have u given thought into the edelbrock intake ?

Benni, look at the two side by side. The Dorman https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-615-175-Manifold-Lincoln-Mercury/dp/B000CIXMIC is very different from the Ford intake. https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-9424-P46.

There is a difference i bout the Ford performance one when I needed to swap the old one out I was curious why not go for something a little bit more beneficial later down the road wise thats all.

Benni, I don't understand. Are you saying the Dorman intake for 4.6 PI heads is the same as the Ford Performance, or not?

I'm saying that dorman makes them and as for replacement I was just asking why go to the Ford performance and not nothing better is all

So you agree Ford Performance PI intake (whoever makes it) is different, and better, than a Dorman from a parts store. The Eddy would be good for a blown motor like a Roush Stage 2 performance-wise but is taller than stock so would require their plenum to fit. They also recommend their own fuel rails. Only Rocco would know if it was worth the extra money.

Oh ok yeah I run the edlebrock and rails myself and love them honestly but yes its best for blown engines for max gains

if you read what I put up, you should have the shorter shaft pump.

Oh ok! Sorry man, was reading quickly on my lunch break lol

Clockwise and counter don't matter?

Find a Bullitt Intake, probably some on Craigslist, or the Bay.
