PI intake swap

low9sGT hahajk · Mar 17, 2008

http://www.mustangforums.com/m_3833004/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm I'm using this writeup.

I know this swap has been covered, but I'm having some problems finding little bits of information I need.

I have the all plastic NPI intake manifold and converting to the PI intake w/ aluminum crossover.
Will I need the alternator bracket?
I thought I read that you used the NPI manifold gasket instead of the PI manifold gasket, which one?

Is this the correct parts list:
PI intake manifold
PI intake manifold gaskets
PI water coolant tube
PI water pump nipple
180 degree thermostat
thermostat gasket
EGR gasket
Coolant hose from heater core to intake manifold
16 new O-Rings for the fuel injectors
High Temp RTV sealant
waterpump o-ring

Thanks

You can use either a PI or NPI intake gasket. If I were doing the swap I would be using a PI gasket for reasons brought up in this thread.

Thanks, I'm going to go with PI intake gaskets. So that is settled.

Anyone know whether I'll need the alt. bracket?

I have the NPI manifold without the aluminum crossover. I'm switching to the PI with the aluminum crossover. I'm unsure about whether my current alt. bracket can be used with the swap.

theyre should be a part# floating around here somewhere. i have an extra bracket :dunno:

Yes.. You need a new alt. bracket.. I just did the swap; and I went the same as you (plastic npi--->alum. PI).. You need the bracket.

not to hijack your thread but does anyone know of a vendor that sells all the parts you need for the swap? For example just like the livernoise setup minus the intake manifold
