This might be the justification that LMR should focus on to justify the premium over the Dorman intake, but then again you can swap out two Dormans for the cost of one of these.The alt bracket looks to be the same universal style with multiple mounting holes.  See post 157.  I don’t have mine anymore to snap a pic of the dorman.Who knows what sort of arrangement Dorman worked out with Ford.  Perhaps they own some exclusive rights to this intake, or maybe those rights expire in a year and this revised version starts to trickle out as the standard Dorman. We will see.  I would think Dorman would want to consolidate and recoup new tooling costs figuring the old tooling has paid for itself long ago.Just thinking out loud.I would like to see LMR do a PI-Dorman-New Ford 3-way dyno.   They already did the old Dorman but if there are any variables folks are going to cry foul.</blockquote>
